Many protocols, for zone 1 flexor tendon injuries, encourage early motion of the injured phalanx. Attempts to secure some form of dynamic traction to the distal end of the digit can be the most challenging part of the splint fabrication. It can be even more difficult and painful for the patient when a button is necessary to help secure the tendon. This author has developed what appears to be a relatively pain free, easy method to help resolve this issue.
许多针对1区屈指肌腱损伤的治疗方案都鼓励受伤指骨尽早活动。设法对手指远端进行某种形式的动态牵引,可能是制作夹板最具挑战性的部分。当需要用纽扣来固定肌腱时,对患者来说可能会更加困难和痛苦。本文作者开发了一种似乎相对无痛且简便的方法来解决这个问题。
