Can surgery restore a burned Hand's full reach?
NCT ID NCT07762404
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Surgical reconstruction of the first web space of the hand
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify the best surgical approach to improve hand function and appearance after burns or trauma, potentially guiding treatment standards.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Surgery carries risks like infection, scarring, or incomplete improvement.
