Orthotic management of fixed flexion deformity of the proximal interphalangeal joint following traumatic injury: A systematic review

摘要

Background/objectiveFixed flexion deformity of the proximal interphalangeal joint can commonly occur following a traumatic injury impacting on hand function and occupational performance. Numerous interventions have been proposed for fixed flexion deformity resolution. This paper investigates the efficacy of static or dynamic orthoses in reducing fixed flexion deformity contracture following traumatic proximal interphalangeal joint injury.
