A splint has been designed to correct the congenital clasped thumb. It is like a short opponens splint that can keep the thumb in a position of abduction and extension without limiting wrist movement. The application of the splint was easy and adjustment for fit could be made at each visit if necessary. The device has been used in 11 infant patients (17 thumbs) with congenital clasped thumb of the supple type. The functional results were excellent in 15 of 17 thumbs, and the other two were good according to the grading system of Weckesser et al. (1968).
一种用于矫正先天性拇指内收畸形的夹板已被设计出来。它类似于一个短的对掌肌夹板，能够使拇指保持在外展和伸展的位置，而不限制腕关节的活动。该夹板应用简便，如有必要，每次就诊时都可进行调整以确保合适。该装置已用于11例患有柔软型先天性拇指内收畸形的婴儿患者（17根拇指）。根据韦克塞瑟等人（1968年）的分级系统，17根拇指中有15根功能结果极佳，另外两根结果良好。
