Summary

This randomized controlled study aims to compare the effects of three different wrist positions (30° extension, neutral, and 30° flexion) used in dorsal blocking orthoses during early active mobilization after zone I-II flexor tendon repair. A total of 54 patients will be randomly assigned into three groups. All participants will receive the same rehabilitation protocol. Clinical and functional outcomes including total active motion, pain, complications, functional status, and orthosis satisfaction will be evaluated at 6, 8, and 12 weeks by a blinded assessor.

Conditions

  • Flexor Tendon Injury
  • Tendon Injury - Hand

Interventions

DEVICE

3D-Printed Dorsal Blocking Orthosis (wrist 30 degree extension)

Participants will use a 3D-printed dorsal blocking orthosis with the wrist positioned at 30° extension and follow a controlled early active mobilization protocol.

DEVICE

3D-Printed Dorsal Blocking Orthosis (wrist neutral)

Participants will use a 3D-printed dorsal blocking orthosis with the wrist in neutral position and follow the same rehabilitation protocol.

DEVICE

3D-Printed Dorsal Blocking Orthosis (wrist 30 degree flexion)

Participants will use a 3D-printed dorsal blocking orthosis with the wrist positioned at 30° flexion and follow the same rehabilitation protocol.
