First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial evaluates different surgical methods to reconstruct the first web space—the skin and tissue between the thumb and index finger—after burns or trauma. The goal is to see which technique best improves thumb movement, grip strength, and appearance. About 20 patients with post-burn or post-traumatic contractures will undergo surgery and be assessed for functional and aesthetic outcomes.
