Buddy Tape vs. Splint for Metacarpal Shaft Fracture Recovery
Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Sud Francilien
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to see if buddy tape can treat shaft fracture of hand long fingers as well as splint. The main question it aims to answer is: Two months after the fracture, are the hand activities as good with buddy taping as with splint? Researchers will compare buddy tape group to splint group to see if the strength of the arm is not lower with buddy tape. Participants will attend 4 visits after receiving either buddy tape or splint, to control their hand strength and the correct healing of their franture.
