Dynamic splints have been prescribed in an attempt to halt the progression of the camptodactyly.
A splint was fitted on the wrist to eliminate any rotations of the radiocarpal joint.
Issues of diet and arm splints, and how to care for the wound at home are discussed.
Injections into gastrocnemius and soleus can make splints more comfortable to wear, and may sometimes improve walking.
Most of the workshops depended on the second-class splints rejected by bigger factories nearby.
In many major mechanized factories, machinery such as peeling machines, splint choppers, veneer choppers, and polishing drums already existed.
The "frame-filling" process which lined up the splints with strict regularity before they were dipped into chemicals was highly labour-consuming if done manually.
In addition, the assumption that splints must be white and glossy limited the choice of species.
