Residual Extensor Lag Approximately 1 Month After Splint or Cast Immobilization of a Mallet Finger

Not Applicable

Withdrawn

• Conditions: Patients Present With Mallet Finger
• Interventions: Other: PROMIS Upper Extremity; Other: Likert Pain Scale; Other: Mallet Finger Extensor Lag Measurement

• Registration Number: NCT02210676
• Lead Sponsor: Massachusetts General Hospital

Brief Summary

Aim:

The purpose of the study is to learn more about how a person recovers after treatment for mallet finger injury. The investigators want to identify the best outcome after mallet finger injury and how to improve treatment strategies.

Primary null hypothesis:

There are no statistically significant factors associated with extensor lag between 4 weeks and 4 months after immobilization is discontinued for a mallet finger among demographic, injury, and treatment factors.

Secondary null hypothesis:

There are no statistically significant factors associated with PROMIS upper extremity function between 4 weeks and 4 months after completion of immobilization for a mallet finger among demographic, psychological, injury, and treatment factors.
