Mallet finger: a trial of two splints.

Over a period of twelve months, 116 cases of mallet finger were allocated randomly to treatment with either a Stack or Abouna splint. The two splints were equally effective, producing a cure or a significant improvement in approximately 50% of cases. However, the Stack splint was much preferred by the patients, who found it more comfortable, more robust and easier to keep clean.
