Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Manchester Short Splint
Dorsal splint ending shortly behind the wrist. The splint will be worn for 6 weeks after surgery and the patient will perform active and passive exercises in the splint.
Manchester Short Splint
3-5 days after tendon repair the patient will start with hand therapy and the described protocol.
Relative Motion Flexion
In the relative motion splint the injured finger is positioned in relative flexion in the MCP joint to the adjacent fingers. Additionally to the relative motion flexion splint a wrist orthosis is adapted. Passive and active exercises will be performed out of the splint.
Relative Motion Flexion
3-5 days after tendon repair the patient will start with hand therapy and the described protocol.
