Better finger motion with active place-and-hold therapy after zone II flexor tendon repair .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Zone-II flexor tendon repair: a randomized prospective trial of active place-and-hold therapy compared with passive motion therapy
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2010 Jun;92(6):1381-9.103 patients (age range 15-75) with 119 digits undergoing zone-II flexor tendon repairs within 48 hour of injury by Strickland four-strand tendon repair technique were randomized to post surgical rehabilitation methods of either active or passive motion therapy. At 1 year, digit range of motion was significantly greater with smaller flexion contracture and higher satisfaction scores in patients receiving active motion therapy versus passive motion therapy. However, patient-assessed outcomes (DASH Score) and dexterity did not prove to be any different between the groups.
