Congenital clasped thumb describes an anomaly which is characterized by a fixed thumb into the palm at the metacarpophalangeal joint in one or both hands.
Using splints will initiate flexion in the metacarpophalangeal joints while also allowing extensions and flexion in the interphalangeal joints, thus increasing range of motion.
It is blended with the palmar metacarpophalangeal ligaments.
The extensor digitorum is left unopposed and the metacarpophalangeal joints of digits 23 remain extended while attempting to make a fist.
