 Recently, the frequency to make a splint in clinical area is increasing, and the splint therapy for hand injured patients is rising in importance.

 In dynamic splint, the direction and the force of traction-to-digit is usually set at the extended position of the finger. But the direction and the force cannot correspond to movement (flexion) of the finger. So, when the patient flexes his or her finger with a traditional-type dynamic splint, the direction of traction becomes unsuitable and the force of traction that is increased by finger flexion concentrates on the finger joint. For this reason, the repeating of joint exercise with a traditional-type dynamic splint has some bad influences on the joint of digit and secondary injury may occur with exercise using the traditional-type dynamic splint.

 So, I tried to make a new-type dynamic splint (an innovative dynamic splint: Shiraishi's changeable traction type). The changeable traction-type dynamic splint can change the direction of traction to the finger and can solve the problem of the traditional-type dynamic splint. Furthermore I had a chance to use the new-type dynamic splint for two patients who had their hands injured. Case 1 was a patient with a ring-phalanx head fracture, and case 2 was a patient with a PIP joint contracture after ulnar nerve palsy for a long time.

 According to my findings in these two clinical cases, the changeable traction-type dynamic splint is thought to be better to adapt to the patient who had the head fracture of the phalanx, intra-articular fracture, injury of the joint ligament, cartilage injury of the joint and joint contracture rather than the traditional-type dynamic splint.
