Comparing two skin cuts for hand tendon repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two different types of cuts (incisions) surgeons make when repairing a tendon in the hand. The goal is to find out which cut leads to better healing and finger movement after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a tendon injury in the hand, specifically in the part called 'zone 2' (near the palm).
- Your injury is simple – no broken bones or major skin loss.
- You haven't had a prior injury that left this finger (or the same finger on the other hand) with lasting problems.
- You are able and willing to follow a hand therapy exercise program after surgery.
- You can understand and follow instructions in Swedish or English.
