2007, Journal of Hand SurgeryCitation Excerpt :At the 28-day time point, however, the early motion calluses were not significantly different from the immobilized calluses with regard to energy absorbed per unit area (p = .21; 21% difference). Early active motion of one or both joints adjacent to a fracture, often introduced in combination with a regional functional fracture brace, has been recommended as a treatment option after closed, stable, extra-articular hand fractures by a number of investigators.36–52 Sarmiento and Latta53 and Latta et al54 in particular have been longtime advocates for functional fracture braces in the management of stable, closed, extra-articular fractures.
