Trigger finger is a painful condition that affects a wide swath of the population. It most frequently occurs in adults ages 40-60 but can affect people at any age. Similarly, while it can beset anyone, it happens more often in individuals that use their hands for their work, or work in an industry that requires repetitive hand motions. This includes agricultural workers, typists, and even musicians. It can be noticed by nodules forming at the base of the fingers, but also by the stiffness and pain felt in the finger. The tendons of the finger will inflame in trigger finger, leading to extreme pain when moving it around. Sometimes it can be lessened with motion and stretching, while other times a splint is recommended to keep the finger in place and avoid further inflammation. It is often worse in the morning, and some doctors recommend wearing a splint such as this overnight to reduce that pain. Mallet finger is another condition which affects the digits. This injury is most often caused by a blunt force trauma to the hand, medical parlance for "a basketball hit the tip of my finger." Sometimes mallet finger will be accompanied by fractured or broken finger, but sometimes the only real symptom is an inability to straighten the tip of the finger. This splint has a strong form for the finger, to help keep the tip straight, which can reduce long term damage from mallet finger injuries. The list of injuries that can befall your fingers are too many to...count on both hands? From rheumatoid arthritis to sprains, fractures, breaks, and anything else. This splint provides a soft, pleasant neoprene that is comfortable to wear, while the strong metal splint portion helps for stabilization. There are a variety of ailments that this finger brace can soothe, and we look forward to helping you, and your fingers, get back on the mend!
