简要总结
Tendon adhesions of the hand remain a ubiquitous problem facing hand surgeons and hand therapists alike. Despite their commonality, no consensus exists as to the best means of preventing adhesions, or the most ideal methods to treat them once they have occurred. The purpose of this study is to compare patient outcomes after standard operative tenolysis performed for adhesions of the hand to outcomes after tenolysis with the use of allograft human amniotic membrane.
详细描述
Patients who are scheduled to undergo operative tenolysis of the flexor and/or extensor tendons of the hand will be recruited. Our target enrollment is 40 patients (20 control plus 20 experimental), based on the power analysis detailed in the next paragraph. Enrolled patients will be randomized to either standard operative tenolysis, or tenolysis with placement of AlloWrap. Randomization will be performed by computerized random number generator. All surgeries will be performed by one senior fellowship-trained hand surgeon. Baseline measurements of total active motion (TAM), passive range of motion (PROM), and survey scores of the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH) and Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) will be recorded pre-operatively. In addition, patients' pain level will be assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS) both at rest, and during the examination. These same values will be re-evaluated at post-operative follow-up visits at 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. PROM will also be evaluated intra-operatively by the surgeon, and documented.
