10.23.09 Dynamic splint for my broken fifth metacarpal and torn tendon

Dynamic splint for my broken fifth metacarpal and torn tendon. "Lacerations or cuts on the back of the hand that go through the extensor tendons cause difficulty in straightening the finger at the large joint where the fingers join the hand. These injuries are usually treated by stitching the tendon ends together. Splinting for a tendon injury in this area may include the wrist and part of the finger. Dynamic splinting, which is a splint with slings that allows some finger motion, may be used for injuries of this kind. The dynamic splint allows early movement and protects that healing tendon. "

dude, how is it now, 14 months after? have you regained full dexterity?

[Doccerz]

@MrDoriefs I have a couple of updates made since this video.

I've recovered most of my hand strength and dexterity. My fine motor movement is on par with my other hand it can behave as independently.

The hand generally gets tired out faster than it did before the inury, so typing, exercise, etcetera gets to be a chore. But that I attribute that to not working it out enough.

i have the same problem but worse i have ripped my tendons in my middle left finger but i waited six weeks to go to the hospital so i'm now being sent to a fracture clinic to see if they can operate if not i may never be able to use this finger again... Guess i should have visited the hospital sooner :(
