Area of Science:

Musculoskeletal Medicine
Environmental Health
Biomaterials

Background:

Climate change poses significant global health risks, necessitating sustainable practices in healthcare.
Musculoskeletal medicine commonly uses single-use splinting materials, contributing to environmental concerns.
Environmentally friendly splint alternatives are emerging to reduce healthcare's ecological footprint.

Conclusions:

Current research on 'green' splints is limited but indicates comparable performance to existing materials.
No substantial safety concerns were associated with the evaluated environmentally friendly splints.
Further investigation into the clinical effectiveness and environmental impact of sustainable splints is warranted.
