Abstract:
The splint proposed here is designed for patients undergoing extensive tenolysis of the long fingers in zone 5. Based on the anatomy, the principle of this splint is to place the flexor tendons of one finger in a short position and its neighbour in a long position and vice versa. This promotes the formation of "long" adhesions allowing independent movement of each finger.
