25.01.2022 Practising with chopsticks can be a useful proprioceptive exercise for CMCJ arthritis. Not only is it a functional exercise but it can strengthen the first dorsal interosseous muscle which helps to stabilise the CMCJ.

23.01.2022 A Can-do web used as an alternative for grip strengthening

20.01.2022 This patient suffered a nasty crush injury to the index finger which required skin grafting and an island flap. He had trouble with extensive scarring and sensitivity. At 6 months post op his scars have softened and he has great grip and pinch strength. He has been able to return to manual work and playing the guitar!

16.01.2022 An amazing collelo splint made at our Norwest rooms. This splint is working on improving forearm pronation after excision of a distal radial ulnar joint synostosis. Synostosis occurs when two bones unite or fuse together. It can occur congenitally or post trauma.
