Abstract
It is beyond doubt that splinting programmes have often been an integral and important part of the rehabilitation process in tendon injuries. Over the past three decades, hand splints for tendon injuries of various designs and different mobilisation programmes have been developed in the hope of pursuing better clinical and functional outcome for patients. In this paper, the development of different splinting programmes in flexor and extensor tendon injuries and the current practice in some acute hospitals in Hong Kong were discussed.
