| Scientific title | |
| Study objectives | To review the results obtained from three rehabilitation regimes following extensor tendon injury and repair in zones V-VI. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Musculoskeletal Diseases: Tendon injury |
| Intervention | Randomised controlled investigation to standardise rehabilitation after four weeks repair using three different regimes for the four weeks treatment. 1. Volar splint immobilising the wrist in extension and the metacarpophalangeal (MCP), proximal interphalangeal (PIP) and distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints immobilised in a neutral (extended) position (Newport et al 1990) 2. Wrist and MCP joints immobilised in a volar splint allowing controlled mobilisation of the PIP and DIP joints (Dargan 1969, Slater et al 1997) 3. A static volar splint with wrist extended, MCP joints flexed and PIP and DIP joints flexed. The patient carries out controlled extension exercises from the splint (Sylaidas et al 1997). |
