Wepa!!!! Saludos!!! Today we present modified dorsal blocking splints for the PIP joints due to Swan neck deformity for a 13 y/o patient. 🤙🏽🔥✅
For this patient, we fabricated modified dorsal blocking splints for the 3rd and 4th digits bilaterally to help control PIP joint hyperextension while still allowing functional use of her hands.
She has tried multiple splints over the past several years, but reports that these custom splints have significantly improved her ability to make a fist while preventing unwanted PIP hyperextension. 🙌🏼
🔹 Wear schedule: Full-time use
🔹 Splints are removed for prescribed exercises
🔹 Designed to limit PIP hyperextension while allowing functional finger flexion
🔹 Individually fabricated and adjusted for each hand
Sometimes a small modification can make a BIG difference in hand function. 💪🏼🖐️
Saludos y nos vemos en la clinica! 🤙🏽🌊💯✊🏽
