Scientific title | |
Study objectives | Would surgical treatment of Dupuytren's Contracture involves less discomfort for patients if absorbable (dissolving) sutures were used instead of non-absorbable sutures? Would absorbable sutures significantly reduce the amount of time nursing staff need to allocate to the care of patients having surgery for Dupuytrens Contracture? |
Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Musculoskeletal Diseases: Dupuytren's disease |
Intervention | Randomised controlled trial: 1. absorbable-vicryl rapide 5/0 sutures 2. non-absorbable-prolene 5/0 sutures |
Intervention type | Other |
Primary outcome measure | Patients discomfort/pain will be measured using visual analogue and non-parametric Mann Whitney test. The difference in the mean time the nurses spend with the patients in the two groups will be investigated using an independent t-test. Healing complications will probably take form of grouped data and comparisons of the two groups will be dome by chi-squared test. |
