Finger Sprain

1) Proximal Inter-phalangeal Joint Anatomy

2) Finger contracture due to shortening of the proximal inter-phalangeal (PIP) joint ligaments

3) Middle finger proximal inter-phalangeal (PIP) joint flexion deformity (contracture)

4) Middle and ring finger deformities /stiffness following prolonged wrist fracture rehabilitation

5) Splinting options for conservative management of the proximal inter-phalangeal (PIP) joint - Capner splint

6) Splinting options for conservative management of the proximal inter-phalangeal (PIP) joint - long (full) finger 'gutter'

7) Splinting options for conservative management of the proximal inter-phalangeal (PIP) joint - short (partial) finger 'gutter'

8) the anatomical point at which shortened ligaments get divided in order to release the joint and allow finger strengthening
