I have a Dr. who needs an orthosis that keeps the shoulder externally rotated as much as possible but allows freedom of motion in all other planes in the shoulder and elbow/ wrist. This is based on an MRI study which found that particular shoulder surgeries were most successful in recovery with this position. The anterior compartment of the shoulder jt is closer together. I showed him pictures of a gunslinger and airplane splint that had rotation adjustability, but this is not what he wants. Any ideas are welcome for either custom fab or preferably off the shelf orthoses. Thanks, Zach Harvey, CO (L)
