Tenosynovitis Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Treatment of Purulent Flexor Tenosynovitis - Is Postoperative Catheter Irrigation Necessary? A Prospective Randomized Trial.
This study evaluates the effect of postoperative intermittent closed-catheter irrigation on the recovery from the purulent flexor tenosynovitis. One group of patients suffering from acute purulent flexor tenosynovitis is treated using intraoperative irrigation only and the other group having both intra- and postoperative irrigation.
The foundation of the successful management of purulent flexor tenosynovitis is the surgical debridement followed by an intravenous antibiotic treatment. Several surgical methods have been described to remove the purulent debris from the flexor tendon sheath. Closed-catheter irrigation involves irrigation of the tendon sheath from proximal to distal direction facilitated by two small incisions; one proximal to A1 pulley and one distal to A4 pulley. Lille et al. (J Hand Surg Br. 2000;25(3):304-307) conducted a retrospective study that implied that intraoperative closed-catheter irrigation without postoperative irrigation might be as effective as the combination of intra- and postoperative irrigation. The hypothesis of this prospective randomized trial is that the intraoperative closed-catheter irrigation alone is as effective as the combination of intraoperative and postoperative intermittent closed-catheter irrigation in the treatment of purulent flexor tenosynovitis. ;
