Hi All



I have a patient who recently had an operation on her 4th toe and as a
result is starting to deviate into an extension contracture. At present I am
using both a custom silicone orthosis and the Darco TAS. However the
contracture is too great for both silicone and the TAS. She is an active
middle aged woman. PS The TAS works but the strap around the toe is too
narrow and the toe starts to swell distal to the strap. Any ideas on an
alternative treatment option.

Kind regards
