Why don't you do a swan neck position ?

[@OrthoRefresh]

Swan neck finger positioning, occurs due to an untreated mallet finger or can occur with rheumatoid arthritis. Swan neck positioning involves hyperextension of the PIP joint and flexion of the DIP joint. I believe you are referring to ‘intrinsic plus’ where the MP joints are flexed and IP joints are at neutral or 0°. Research has shown this is no longer necessary and people regain their finger motion following splinting with the fingers in a position of comfort. There are occasions where the hand surgeon would want intrinsic plus positioning, but these are less common.

@OrthoRefresh but i think that it decreased the danger of stiffness

My husband and I had an accident and had an operation on his right arm. Currently he needs physiotherapy. I do not have his right. Can a doctor give me the right to physical therapy?

[@OrthoRefresh]

I am sorry to hear about the accident. Yes, you should ask the doctor for physical therapy or physiotherapy as that can play a very important role in his recovery!
