A modified Kleinert Controlled Mobilization Splint following flexor tendon repair. 1984

P G Slattery, and D A McGrouther

The Controlled Mobilization Splint as described by Kleinert for use following flexor tendon repair has been modified to more closely simulate the normal range of motion of the fingers and in particular to increase the range of motion at the distal interphalangeal joint and so enhance the relative gliding of the flexor digitorum superficialis and flexor digitorum profundus tendons and hence possibly to reduce potential intertendinous adhesions.
