Filter by:The hand is the basic functional organ of the human body and is responsible for complex tasks such as grasping and catching. It also plays an important role in a person's daily life, self-care activities and business life. When the flexor tendon system, which is necessary for the effective use of the hand, is damaged, it can cause physical, socioeconomic deterioration, mood disorders and permanent disabilities in the individual. Treatment of flexor tendon injuries after appropriate surgical repair ıt includes an intensive rehabilitation program. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the early rehabilitation results of patients who underwent a rehabilitation program after Zone II flexor tendon injury by comparing the improvements in joint range of motion, pain, functionality and quality of life with other zone injuries.
This will be a prospective randomized control trial with a blocking method to determine the effect of an occupational therapy focused pre-operative education on 3 pre-determined diagnosis: Carpometacarpal (CMC) Arthroplasty, Distal radius fracture requiring open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and tendon repairs of the hand. Possible participants will be recruited through Cape Fear Orthopedics & Sports Medicine and receiving care from an orthopedic surgeon & hand specialist. Researchers hypothesize that those who receive the occupational therapy consult will demonstrate improved adherence with occupational therapy appointments, improved patient perceived function, and overall improved experiences with the pre-operative patient experience.
The incidence of flexor tendon injuries in pediatric patients has remained largely undocumented, with a frequency of 3.6 per 100 000 persons per year.The pediatric literature demonstrates a higher prevalence of flexor tendon injuries in men, caused by sharp objects (glass or knife)
