Overview

Functional recovery measurement : Comparing early active mobilization versus immobilization after extensor tendon repair in zones IV to VIII.

Immobilization for six weeks has been the postoperative protocol for the patients with hand's extensor tendon repair in our institute. In this study early mobilization of the hand i.e. also an internationally followed way, is compared with the aforementioned immobilization protocol to see which turns out to be a better option in the interest of the patient.

Description

patients selection in both groups will be random by using close envolupe technique.

In group A ( immobilisation) physiotherapy will start by the end of 4th week and the upper limit of flexion would be 45 degrees.

In group B ( EAM) physiotherapy will start by the end of 1st week and the upper limit of flexion would be 30 degrees.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients of either gender having simple lacerations of extrinsic extensor tendons of the hand in Verdan's zones IV-VIII
  • Age range 18 to 65 years
  • Sharp Cut Injury

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with complex injured hands like significant skin loss, bone and/or joint injuries. Flexor tendon injuries.
  • Partial tendon lacerations
  • Tendon injuries at multiple levels

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?
