Ultrasound-Guided Repeated Saline Injections to Prevent and Treat Tendon Adhesions After Hand Tendon Repair

2026年10月15日 更新者:Kai Wang

A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial of Ultrasound-Guided Repeated Normal Saline Injections for Preventing and Treating Tendon Adhesion

Scar tissue can form around a repaired tendon and restrict finger movement. This study will evaluate whether repeated ultrasound-guided normal saline injections, in addition to standard postoperative rehabilitation, can help prevent and treat tendon adhesion after surgical repair of zone II flexor tendon injuries.

The study is a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial involving 80 adults aged 18 to 60 years with a zone II flexor tendon rupture in the index, middle, ring, or little finger. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups, with 40 participants in each group. Participants in both groups will receive the same standard postoperative rehabilitation treatment, including early active finger mobilization. In addition to this rehabilitation, the experimental group will receive ultrasound-guided percutaneous injections of 1 mL of normal saline at the tendon adhesion site on postoperative days 7, 14, and 21. The control group will receive standard postoperative rehabilitation alone, without postoperative normal saline injections.

The primary outcome is total active motion of the repaired finger at 3 months after surgery. Finger movement, pain, hand function, postoperative finger infection, and tendon rupture will also be assessed at the scheduled follow-up visits.

详细说明

This prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of repeated ultrasound-guided normal saline injections as an adjunct to standard postoperative rehabilitation for preventing and treating tendon adhesion after flexor tendon repair.

A total of 80 participants aged 18 to 60 years with a zone II flexor tendon rupture in the index, middle, ring, or little finger who are scheduled to undergo tendon repair will be enrolled. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the experimental group or the control group.

Participants in both groups will undergo tendon repair and receive the same standard postoperative rehabilitation treatment, including early active finger mobilization. In addition to standard rehabilitation, participants in the experimental group will receive ultrasound-guided percutaneous injections of 1 mL of normal saline at the identified tendon adhesion site on postoperative days 7, 14, and 21. Dynamic ultrasound imaging will be used to observe the distribution of normal saline in the tendon repair region. Participants in the control group will receive standard postoperative rehabilitation alone, without postoperative normal saline injections.

Follow-up assessments will be performed at 6 weeks and 3 months after surgery. The primary outcome is total active motion (TAM) at 3 months after surgery, expressed in degrees and analyzed as a continuous variable. Secondary outcomes include TAM at 6 weeks and visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) scores, postoperative finger infection rates, and tendon rupture rates at 6 weeks and 3 months.

Safety assessments will include physical examination, vital signs, complete blood count, C-reactive protein, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Adverse events will be recorded and evaluated throughout the study.

干预/治疗
实验性的:Ultrasound-Guided Repeated Normal Saline Injections

Participants will undergo flexor tendon repair and receive ultrasound-guided percutaneous injections of 1 mL of normal saline at the identified tendon adhesion site on postoperative days 7, 14, and 21.

Normal saline will be administered by ultrasound-guided percutaneous injection at the identified tendon adhesion site after flexor tendon repair. Each injection will contain 1 mL of normal saline. Injections will be performed on postoperative days 7, 14, and 21.

无干预:No Postoperative Normal Saline Injection

Participants will undergo flexor tendon repair without postoperative normal saline injections.

研究衡量的是什么?

主要结果指标

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
Total Active Motion at 3 Months After Surgery
大体时间:3 months after surgery

Total active motion (TAM) of the surgically repaired finger, expressed in degrees and analyzed as a continuous measure of joint motion.

3 months after surgery

次要结果测量

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
Total Active Motion at 6 Weeks After Surgery
大体时间:6 weeks after surgery

Total active motion (TAM) of the surgically repaired finger, expressed in degrees and analyzed as a continuous measure of joint motion.

6 weeks after surgery
Visual Analog Scale Pain Score
大体时间:6 weeks and 3 months after surgery

Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), with scores ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity and a worse outcome.

6 weeks and 3 months after surgery
Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire Score
大体时间:6 weeks and 3 months after surgery

Hand function will be assessed using the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ). The overall score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better hand function and a better outcome.
