The “Sparti” splint for rehabilitation of extensor tendon injuries in zones V-VII

Abstract: Dynamic splinting is a well-known method for maintaining finger movement after ruptures of the extensor tendons. We describe a simple, inexpensive and easy-to-construct modification of a dynamic splint, called the "Sparti" splint, suitable for a six-week period of rehabilitation of injured extensor tendons in zones V-VII.

“…4 Recovery from extensor tendon rupture in zones V-VII is often associated with delayed extension of the MCF joint, extrinsic stiffness and formation of adhesions that hinder finger flexion and decreased grip strength. 7 Evans (1995) 4 studied the normal excursion of the extensor of the fingers in zones V, VI and VII to suggest guidelines for the passive movement, as early as possible of the extensor tendons. Evans (1995) 4 concluded that 5mm of tendon sliding after a repair is effective and safe to limit tendon adhesions and applied a postoperative splint that allows active flexion movements to be performed, while providing passive extension.…”
