Abstract:
This double-blinded randomised clinical trial investigated whether application of ADCON-T/N to zone II tendon repairs improved their outcome. Fifty-nine patients were randomised into control or ADCON-T/N treated groups and all followed an early mobilisation regime following tendon repair. Tendon rupture rates were comparable between the control and ADCON-T/N treated patients. At six months follow-up, the ADCON-T/N treated group had better proximal interphalangeal motion.
