Sponsor's own description

This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided repeated normal saline injections for the prevention and treatment of tendon adhesion following flexor tendon repair. Tendon adhesion is a common complication after tendon injury, leading to pain, stiffness, and impaired hand function. Conventional anti-adhesion strategies, such as physical barrier membranes, may induce local inflammation or have limited effectiveness. In this study, patients undergoing tendon repair will be randomly assigned to receive either ultrasound-guided peritendinous saline injections at 7, 14, and 21 days after surgery (intervention group) or no injection (control group). The primary outcome is total active motion (TAM-%) at 3 months after surgery. Secondary outcomes include TAM-% at 6 weeks, pain scores (VAS), Michigan Hand Questionnaire (MHQ) scores, infection rate, and tendon rupture rate. A total of 136 patients will be enrolled (68 in each group). The findings of this trial will help to establish whether repeated saline injections under ultrasound guidance can effectively prevent tendon adhesion, improve pain and functional outcomes, and ensure tendon healing with minimal complications.
