Example: Wound Care & Static Splint
 |
For 2 weeks we provided sterile redressing and edema control after a fasciotomy post compression syndrome. |

 |
The Static Splint
A custom splint provided the correct support for the acute stage of healing, removed stress from the forearm flexors and placed the lumbricals in a position of their best mechanical advantage. |
 |
Graft Care
The patient had gotten his dressing wet and an open area formed at the proximal graft. |
 |
Careful wound care ensured excellent graft closure. |
 |
Scar management after the wound has healed. |
 |
An otoform scar conformer was used in conjunction with scar remodeling techniques. |
 |
Stage-specific therapy
After his wound was closed, the patient was provided graded functional tasks and work simulation. Mr. D was not only able to return to his job at a quarry but was promoted to a supervisor! |
