Mallet Finger Splint Supports the Dip Joint in Hyper Extension
A splint is a device that supports and protects body parts that have been injured, such as a broken bone or muscle sprain. A splint may also be worn after surgery. A splint is used to decrease pain and stop or limit movement so you can heal. Unlike casts, caregivers can easily adjust a splint if you have swelling or pain after an injury. A splint is sometimes called a half-cast because it does not wrap around an entire body area like a cast does.
A Mallet splint is designed in such a way that it supports the dip joint in hyper extension, while the movement of the PIP joint does not get restricted. Finger Splint is required when the tendon in outermost joint of a finger is ripped. We can also say when the tip of the finger gets injured due to sports injury, or jammed your finger in the door.
