Pisiform fracture immobilization splint
Nonoperative pisiform fracture management is immobilization with a short-arm splint (ulnar-sided splinting of the wrist) for 4 to 6 weeks. [1]
Splint type selection
An ulnar-sided short-arm splint is used for pisiform fracture immobilization. [1]
Duration of immobilization
Immobilization for 4 to 6 weeks is recommended for pisiform fractures. [1]
Monotherapy versus operative management
Conservative immobilization with a splint is used for uncomplicated pisiform fractures. [1]
Follow-up and complication avoidance
Specialist follow-up is indicated because complications can include prolonged ulnar nerve palsy and diminished grip strength. [1]
