Splints have an important role in the management of disease and injury of the hand.

There are several basic reasons for splinting a hand or wrist:

• To protect injured or repaired structures
  
• To prevent deformity
  
• To decrease pain
  
• To enhance function
  
• To correct deformity
  
• To increase mobility

It has been said that “a splint that fits everyone fits no one”. Our Occupational Therapists have extensive experience in splinting for various diseases and injuries.
