Abstract
Fabrication of the dynamic traction splint is described in step-by-step fashion in order to aid surgeons to understand the principles of application of the method and to assist hand therapists to make the splint. The new 6-inch diameter arcuate hoop and the radial or ulnar gutter base splint are detailed. Modification of continuous passive motion machines is described for use in conjunction with dynamic traction. Alternative splint applications and post-dynamic traction splinting therapy methods are outlined.
