Joint Contractures
Joint contractures are common after trauma to the upper extremity. Splinting is almost always beneficial for reducing contractures as it supplements active and passive stretching by providing a low load, prolonged stretch to the affected tissues. Immobilization of fractures often leads to contracture formation. Once fractures have clinically healed, the use of splinting can be an invaluable resource to assist with rehabilitation. We can fabricate custom dynamic and static progressive splints for nearly every type of contracture from the finger to the elbow, and provide patients the necessary education wearing schedule and precautions to optimize increases in ROM.
