Full description:
Our research looks at adult patients with a recent injury at the base of the finger in which both flexor tendons, that help to bend the finger, are cut through. We want to compare two different surgical methods to treat these patients. We will also look at which of these treatments offers the best value for money for the NHS. Patient Advisory Group members are asked to share their personal perspectives to help shape our research project. See attachment for full details.
