Hi,
I know this question was posted about a year ago, but let me ask again, as the archives didn't have an answer. We have a new physician prescribing airplane splints for pediatric rotator cuff injuries. We're looking for abduction and external rotation. Does anyone know of suppliers with pedi sized airplanes, or systems that can be readily modified down to the size of a five year old? Some of these that she is prescribing will just be worn at night for stretching (not post-op) so there is a possibility of using low temp too. Anyone with experience doing this?
Hope to get your input(s).
Thanks,
Jim Athearn, CO
