Improving Recovery After Flexor Tendon Injury: Dr. Ajul Shah Co-Authors New Splinting Study

In a new proof-of-concept study published in Hand, Ajul Shah, MD, joins co-authors Nicole Badalyan, Brian Bueno, MD, Jared Escobar, MD, Alta Fried, OTR/L, CHT, Brian Katt, MD, and Emily Van Kouwenberg, MD, examining how a relative motion extension splint can increase tendon excursion and improve glide between the flexor digitorum superficialis and profundus tendons in patients recovering from flexor tendon adhesions. The findings offer early evidence for a nonsurgical approach that may help patients regain motion after tendon repair.
