This trial compares different rehabilitation programs after surgery for a cut thumb tendon (the one that bends your thumb). It aims to find which therapy approach helps patients recover better.
This trial compares two different surgical approaches for repairing flexor tendons (the cords that help you bend your fingers) in the palm area of your hand. The goal is to find which method helps your hand work better after surgery.
This study looks at outcomes—how well treatment works—after injuries to the finger or thumb flexor tendons. If your injury happened in a certain location of the tendon and you meet other safety criteria, your care and results may help improve future treatment.
This study tests whether a non-invasive treatment called extracorporeal shock wave therapy can help improve hand function after flexor tendon repair surgery. The therapy uses sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce scar tissue, and it may help you regain movement more quickly.
