Thank you! As a 7 year UC PA I always get funny looks from patients when I explain why in their case we should not splint their finger

1000% correct. Best answer is splint to protect but take off frequently for ROM 8-10x/day and wean out of splint as soon as pain allows.

How long would you say is a "long" duration? Often my patients are worried about bumping their contused finger and would like some sort of protection.

I see this after my daughters hand got hit with a soccer ball and is a bit swollen but moving fine and no pain until it’s pressed I was debating going in for it. Is this my sign 🙃🫣

It’s super painful too. My pinky got splinted for eight weeks. I had two pins in it. I broke it at the knuckle and the knuckle went to the opposite side of your hand for my double bite on my wrist and now my pinky sticks up and I gotta start physical therapy, which is going to be really painful.

urgent care PA- I have started giving therapy putty to a lot of finger injuries. discuss with the patient to try to use the putty as their finger(s) improved to prevent exactly this. think that's okay?

Hey doc I was uplugging a forklift and the battery blew up on me and shocked me and I only had a tiny cut and a tiny burn. I don’t have no physical injuries that I can see but my pinky and ring finger shakes now after I do anything with my hand can you help me with a few questions?

Thank you for your content — it’s great. I work in UC and see a fair amount of occ med . If you’re repairing a finger laceration, especially one crossing the DIP or PIP joint, how long do you typically recommend splinting, if at all? I completely agree that I see this fairly often where a patient comes back for suture removal and now we’re discussing an ortho/PT referral d/t decreased ROM after being immobilized.
