Use of a bivalve finger fracture orthosis for a new treatment protocol of a PIP comminuted fracture and dorsal dislocation

摘要

As therapists and physicians, we often need to work with our patients to cater treatment accordingly. These authors describe how they modified a treatment protocol for a patient that sustained a proximal interphalangeal joint comminuted fracture and dorsal dislocation, but refused surgery. Their modification allowed the patient to return to full activities. - VICTORIA PRIGANC, PhD, OTR, CHT, CLT, Practice Forum Editor.
