Dynamic splint for my broken fifth metacarpal and torn tendon. "Lacerations or cuts on the back of the hand that go through the extensor tendons cause difficulty in straightening the finger at the large joint where the fingers join the hand. These injuries are usually treated by stitching the tendon ends together. Splinting for a tendon injury in this area may include the wrist and part of the finger. Dynamic splinting, which is a splint with slings that allows some finger motion, may be used for injuries of this kind. The dynamic splint allows early movement and protects that healing tendon. "
