Can Early Active Motion Enhance Postoperative Recovery Following Extensor Indicis Tendon Transfer?

In 2008, Megerle, et. al., conducted prospective randomized trial, which aimed to assess the outcomes and complications associated with two distinct postoperative treatment protocols after extensor indicis tendon transfer. The study compared the efficacy of dynamic motion, involving passive extension using a rubber band system, with early active motion, which initiated active thumb extension. The evaluation included active range of motion in the interphalangeal (IP) … Continue reading Can Early Active Motion Enhance Postoperative Recovery Following Extensor Indicis Tendon Transfer?
