Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi radialis,...

Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Hand Surgery
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Mallet finger is a common injury involving extensor tendon detachment.
Conservative treatment often results in residual extensor lag, a frequent complication.
Existing splinting methods may not always prevent this complication.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel, customizable hyperextension splint for mallet finger.
To provide a detailed, pictorial guide for the splint's fabrication and application.
To empower medical professionals with an effective, accessible treatment option.

Main Methods:

Development of a novel hyperextension splint design.
Customization of the splint for individual patient anatomy.
Detailed pictorial demonstration of splint preparation, application, and maintenance.

Main Results:

A technique for creating a personalized hyperextension splint is demonstrated.
The method utilizes easily accessible materials.
Visual guidance ensures correct technique and application.

Conclusions:

The novel splint offers a customizable and effective solution for mallet finger.
Accessible materials and clear instructions facilitate widespread adoption.
This technique can enable primary care providers to manage mallet finger effectively, potentially avoiding specialist referral.
