In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

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.
