Surgery for camptodactyly: skin flap versus graft
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgical method to fix camptodactyly (a bent finger) using a skin flap technique versus a skin graft. It's for people of any age who meet the stiffness criteria and haven't had prior finger surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a diagnosis of camptodactyly (a bent finger that can't be straightened).
- The finger's bend must be at least 30 degrees when trying to straighten it.
- Surgery must be considered a treatment option.
- If you are an adult, you must give written consent. If you are a minor, a parent or guardian must give consent, and you must agree (assent) if you can.
- You must not have an associated syndrome (like arthrogryposis) that affects other body parts.
- You must not have had previous surgery on the affected finger.
- The finger joint must not be permanently stiff (irreversible fixed stiffness).

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 trial looks at whether a minimally invasive needle procedure can improve hand stiffness caused by Dupuytren’s disease. It may help reduce finger bending that affects how you use your hand.
This trial compares two treatments for a single finger amputation: surgery (reattachment) versus a special dressing that protects the wound while it heals on its own. It is for adults who are able to communicate in Finnish.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure that uses a needle to release tight tissue in the hand, and may include a steroid injection. It aims to improve hand finger straightening for people with Dupuytren’s contracture.
This study looks at whether doing a limited surgery in advance can improve outcomes and reduce scarring for people with trigger finger who also have a specific palm cord condition. It may help you heal better if you’ve already tried non-surgical treatment or chose surgery.
This study tests whether adding fat grafting (taking fat from one part of the body and placing it in the injured hand) during surgery for a specific finger fracture helps improve healing and finger function. It is for adults aged 18-65 who need either a standard fracture repair or a second surgery to free a stiff finger after an earlier fracture.
