Standard treatment protocols following a mallet finger injury involve lengthy
periods of immobilization in an effort to ensure the terminal extensor tendon is
able to maintain the distal interphalangeal joint in extension. This author
describes a technique that utilizes a combination of an orthosis and kinesiotape,
thereby creating a treatment protocol that shortens the immobilization phase for
these patients. - Victoria Priganc, PhD, OTR, CHT, CLT, Practice Forum Editor.
