Splint positions after flexor tendon repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two different positions for a hand splint after flexor tendon surgery. It aims to find which wrist position helps you heal better and move your finger sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study tests whether using virtual reality along with hand exercises can help you recover better after surgery to repair the tendons that bend your fingers. It may make your rehabilitation more engaging and effective.
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 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 a therapy program that combines task-oriented exercises with mirror therapy (using a mirror to help trick the brain) after surgery to repair a hand tendon. It aims to help improve hand movement and function.
This study tests a new way to repair a cut finger tendon using 8 stitches, with the goal of allowing you to move your finger soon after surgery instead of wearing a splint for weeks. It may help you recover movement faster and avoid stiffness.
