The conservative treatment of mallet finger with a simple splint: a case report

A Maitra, B Dorani, A Maitra, B Dorani

Abstract

Sixty patients with mallet finger deformity were randomly treated with either a Stack or a custom-made padded aluminium alloy malleable finger splint. Both splints were equally effective in correcting the deformity but the aluminium alloy splint was able to be fitted to a wider variety of finger shapes and sizes and caused significantly fewer skin complications.
