Wrist and Hand Injuries: Splints and Braces in Centurion
Also known as: wrist fracture, tendon injury, carpal tunnel, thumb arthritis
Fractures, tendon injuries, carpal tunnel and arthritis. A splint can protect healing tissue and reduce pain.
Injuries and conditions of the wrist and hand, from fractures and tendon repairs to carpal tunnel syndrome and thumb arthritis, often need a splint to protect, rest or support the area.
How orthotics can help
- Protect a healing fracture or repair
- Rest an inflamed joint or tendon
- Support a weak or painful thumb or wrist
- Hold the hand in a good position after a stroke or nerve injury
We work with your surgeon and hand therapist to fit the right splint at the right time. See upper limb orthotics.
When to see a doctor
See a doctor after an injury with swelling or deformity, or for numbness and weakness.
