    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Sports medicine
    • Rehabilitation

    Background:

    • Athletic injuries of the upper extremity require adequate protection for effective treatment.
    • Early return to competition is a key goal for athletes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the anatomic considerations for fabricating splints for hand and wrist injuries.
    • To guide the fabrication of splints that facilitate early athletic competition.
    • To prevent reinjury and permanent disability in athletes.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of anatomic considerations for splint fabrication.
    • Analysis of joint-specific requirements for hand and wrist splints.

    Main Results:

    • Understanding of specific anatomical structures is crucial for effective splint design.
    • Splints can be fabricated to allow early athletic participation.
    • Proper splinting minimizes risks of reinjury and long-term disability.

    Conclusions:

    • Anatomically informed splint fabrication is essential for treating upper extremity athletic injuries.
    • Optimized splinting supports a safe and early return to sport for injured athletes.
    • Effective splinting strategies mitigate the risk of chronic impairment.
