Clavicle Brace- Helps In Movement Of Patient’s Upper Half Body

A clavicle brace provides support and stability for the collarbone and back after a fracture. Braces are used as a treatment method to rest and stabilize the bone while allowing it to heal. The clavicle bone is the long bone that connects the breastplate and the shoulder on each side of the body. Surgery is rarely needed for a fractured clavicle, and there are many types of braces and slings available to aid in the healing process.

There are two types of braces used to immobilize the arm to allow for healing: a figure-of-8 clavicle brace and a sling. A sling holds the arm in a bent position at the person’s side. People with hairline fractures or simple fractures should wear a sling.

Clavicle Brace With Buckle is scientifically designed to immobilize, compress and ensure linear union of fractures involving the clavicle bone. It is used where neither neuro vascular disturbances are severe, nor surgery is required.

Splinting Best Treatment for Mallet Finger

There are several treatment options for mallet finger.Splinting is the most common initial treatment method for soft tissue or bony mallet finger. Regardless of the treatment option, common sequelae include a slight extensor lag and a prominent bump on the dorsum of the finger.Many splint configurations and surgical techniques have been described over the past several decades. However, the optimal treatment of each type of mallet finger injury remains controversial. 

Our Price : Rs 61

An excellent outcome is no pain with full range of motion at the DIP joint, less than 10-degree extension deficit is a good outcome, 10–25 degrees of extension deficit with no pain is a fair outcome, and more than 25 degrees of extension deficit or persistent pain is considered a poor outcome. A Mallet Finger treatment outcome assessment classification was proposed by Crawford. It is the most commonly used classification for outcome assessment after mallet finger.

Makhlouf and Deek have considered surgery when splinting cannot correct acute deformities; however, we will review the present literature for acute open and chronic deformities. Most surgeons believe closed/non-operative treatment using splints produces satisfactory results for tendon avulsions without fracture and minimally displaced or small fractures.

Mallet Finger

The authors feel non-operative management of mallet finger is indicated in cases of all soft tissue mallets and bony mallets which are well reduced in a splint without DIP joint subluxation. Immobilization of both the PIP and DIP joints was previously thought to be necessary to relax the extensor hood and intrinsic musculature during terminal extensor tendon healing. 

Whether PIP joint motion would cause a tendon gap at the immobilized DIP joint. They demonstrated that gapping of a disrupted terminal extensor tendon occurred as a result of excursion of the distal tendon stump during DIP joint flexion, not because of retraction of the proximal portion of the tendon with simulated PIP joint extension. They concluded that only the DIP joint need be immobilized in extension to allow healing of the mallet injury. Most authors currently advocate immobilization of the DIP joint alone 

Splinting

There are many variations in the design of splints, but the principle is the same. All Frog Splint Mallet Finger are designed to maintain full extension or slight hyper extension at the DIP joint. Commonly used splints are plastic stack splints, thermoplastic, and aluminum form splints. The authors recommend full time splinting for 6 weeks, followed by 2–6 weeks of splinting at night. The splint should be used continuously and the DIP joint should be maintained in full extension even during skin hygiene care.

Our Price : Rs 79

Patients should be instructed on how to change the splint for periodic cleaning and examination of the skin without allowing the DIP joint to flex. Neglecting a mallet injury or incorrect treatment can lead to DIP joint dysfunction. 1 mm lengthening of the terminal extensor tendon results in 25 degrees of extension lag, and a shortening of 1 mm will seriously restrict DIP joint flexion.

There are several studies comparing mallet finger splints. Perforated splints are better tolerated than solid stack splints. Aluminum-alloy malleable splints are associated with more skin complications as compared with the stack splint, but final outcomes are similar. Warren compared the use of the Abouna splint (rubber coated wire splint) versus the stack splint in a randomized study involving 116 patients.

The Abouna splint had skin complications and poorer patient satisfaction but similar final outcomes as compared with the stack splint. Pike et al. compared the clinical and radiographic extensor lag measurements for mallet fingers treated with volar, dorsal, and custom thermoplastic splinting. There was no extensor lag difference between splints at 12-week follow-up and increased extensor lag was noted with all three splints after discontinuation at 6 weeks of time.

Splint Like A Device for Immobilizing Injured Parts of Body

A splint is a piece of medical equipment used to keep an injured body part from moving and to protect it from any further damage.

A splint is applied to a fracture, sprain, or areas with extensive injury to soft tissues; A device for immobilizing injured parts of the body. Finger Mallet Splint is also applied in cases of inflammatory diseases of the limbs, in cases of burns, and after surgery on bones, blood vessels, and nerves in the extremities. A distinction is made between transport and therapeutic splints.

Our Price : Rs 61

Bone and joint injuries of the hand are common. While often viewed as trivial injuries, a poorly treated finger fracture can have significant functional consequences. These injuries may result in chronic pain, stiffness, and deformity; preventing patients from participating in activities of daily living. It is not uncommon for stable fractures to be over treated and unstable fractures to be neglected, both potentially resulting in permanent disability. Accurate diagnosis and timely management of these injuries continues to be the cornerstone of optimal hand care.

Finger fractures are common injuries with a wide spectrum of presentation. Although a vast majority of these injuries may be treated non-operatively with gentle reduction, appropriate splinting, and careful follow-up, health care providers must recognize injury patterns that require more specialized care.

Injuries involving unstable fracture patterns, intra-articular extension, or tendon function tend to have suboptimal outcomes with non-operative treatment. Other injuries including terminal extensor tendon injuries (mallet finger), stable non-articular fractures, and distal phalanx tuft fractures are readily treated by conservative means, and in general do quite well. Appropriate understanding of finger fracture patterns, treatment modalities, and injuries requiring referral is critical for optimal patient outcomes.

Mallet Fractures

The majority of distal phalangeal base fractures are “mallet injuries”, occurring due to an axial load with a resultant disruption of the terminal extensor mechanism. Mallet injuries with and without a bony fragment may be effectively treated by splinting the DIP joint in extension for 8 wks, followed by 1 month of night splinting. Splinting using a dorsal, volar, or pre-fabricated Stack type splint are all reasonable treatment methods. Care must be taken to avoid dorsal skin ischemia and potential breakdown seen in cases of splinting the DIP joint in a hyperextended position.

Frog Finger Malleable segments fold to hold finger in desired alingment for immobilization of the distal part of injured. Frog Splint is mainly used for fastening of the 1st and 2nd joints of fingers. It is convenient to use and simple for operation.

Thumb Spica Splint Uses and Benefit:

• The splint stabilizes the digits, reduces pain and promotes safe healing, as well.

• The thumb spica splint is essentially a gutter splint adapted for the thumb. It is indicated for non-displaced fractures of the first metacarpal bone, the thumb, and is used for the therapeutic immobilization of many thumb injuries. It keeps the thumb in a fixed position called the “glass holding position.” 

• As well as being effective in keeping the wrist and thumb stable, the thumb spica splint is extremely easy to put on. It is smart and sleek, and it is made of a breathable matrix mesh material. The splint is attractive, easily malleable and removable. One can wear the thumb spica splint while sleeping and can also keep on for most of the day. The splints are constructed of breathable 3 layered PUF fused fabric.

• While the thumb spica splint works to immobilize the wrist and thumb, it allows the tendons of the hand to rest. Thumb spica splints are very widely utilized in the treatment of overuse injuries, which are very common hand injuries. One of the benefits of the thumb spica splint is that it holds the thumb in place and keeps the thumb away from the palm of the hand. 

• Another important benefit of the thumb spica splint is that it provides ample space to accommodate any hand swelling that may occur after the injury to the hand. This makes the splint a highly comfortable and lightweight alternative to the thumb spica cast, which is sometimes used for mild injuries of the thumb, such as in the cases of sprained thumbs.

This kind of splint is usually required after a surgery, injury, trauma, or disease. The comfortable and adjustable finger extension and flexion splints apply a low-load, prolonged duration stretch (LLPS) across the joint using a tensioning system. Finger Extension Splint is helpful in achieving the required changes in the connective tissue for positive results. Wearing of the Finger Extension splint helps the finger to heal much faster.
