A novel method using stent mould casts accurately measures thumb adduction contractures. This technique provides a precise clinical angle from ink impressions, proving more reliable than existing approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Hand Surgery
  • Biomechanical Measurement

Background:

  • Thumb adduction contractures can significantly impair hand function.
  • Accurate measurement is crucial for effective treatment planning.
  • Existing methods for assessing these contractures may lack precision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate a new method for measuring thumb adduction contractures.
  • To assess the accuracy and clinical utility of the novel technique.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing stent mould casts of the first web space.
  • Sectioning casts sagittally to obtain a precise clinical angle.
  • Recording the angle from ink impressions of the cast sections.
