Hello everyone,
I am hoping to get some input on what other options are out there for a
wrist driven tenodesis splint? We have a current patient who had one for
over 20 years and several years ago wanted another. We had Kit Systems
make it and we are constantly fixing both of the devices as he is breaking
them or bending them. Here is why. He didn't wear the device until
several years ago and he uses it to do heavy lifting and manual things that
it is just not capable of or designed to do. He would like them out of
steel and wants them to hold the pinch when he is lifting these heavy
items. I was hoping to get some input on what other devices are out there
or where I can direct him.
Any thoughts would be great.
Thanks,
Jackie Ekern, BOCO, BOCP, BOCFM
