| Popis: | When a fracture of the finger is intraarticular in nature, it adds another dimension to the rehabilitation program, as the joint space is affected and subsequently gaining motion can be a challenge. Traction splinting has been reported in the literature as one way to manage intraarticular finger fractures in an attempt to provide stability while allowing motion. These authors have modified some of the original traction splints to create a hand-based version to use for the patients with an intraarticular, proximal interphalangeal joint fracture.—V ictoria P riganc , PhD, OTR, CHT, CLT, Practice Forum Editor |
