Cast Or ePineural Suture for Digital Nerve Injuries - a Randomised Controlled Study

Patients over the age of 20 with an acute traumatic isolated digital nerve injury to any of the fingers and not in the thumb will be investigated for inclusion in the study. After informed written consent a sealed envelope randomisation will allocate patients to treatment with either surgical exposure and epineural suture or non-operative treatment in a cast. Due to the nature of treatment arms the allocation will not be blinded. Clinical follow-up and investigation of primary and secondary outcomes will be conducted at 3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after inclusion.
