Abstract:
Dynamic splinting is a well-known method for maintaining finger movement after ruptures of the extensor tendons. We describe a simple, inexpensive and easy-to-construct modification of a dynamic splint, called the "Sparti" splint, suitable for a six-week period of rehabilitation of injured extensor tendons in zones V-VII.
