The protective splint described above provides appropriate immobilization and protection for our postoperative pediatric population. The major advantages of this splint over plaster of paris include direct access to the wound, easy reapplication, and unnecessary use of the plaster-cast saw. In addition, thermoplastic splints are lightweight, less bulky, more durable, water-resistant, and easily remolded. The therapist's approach to the patient and parents is of utmost importance and will affect the outcome of the splint. In conclusion, postoperative pediatric splinting can be a challenging experience that requires a significant amount of patience, knowledge, and creativity on the part of the hand therapist.
上述保护性夹板为我们术后的儿科患者群体提供了适当的固定和保护。与巴黎石膏相比，这种夹板的主要优点包括可直接接触伤口、易于重新应用以及无需使用石膏锯。此外，热塑性夹板重量轻、体积小、更耐用、防水且易于重塑。治疗师与患者及其家长的沟通方式至关重要，会影响夹板的使用效果。总之，儿科术后夹板固定可能是一项具有挑战性的工作，手部治疗师需要具备极大的耐心、知识和创造力。
