Ulnar deviation, also called ulnar drift, is a hand deformity where the fingers are angled towards the ulna (the long bone on the little finger side of the forearm) at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints (knuckles), causing the fingers to drift away from the thumb. Ulnar deviation is likely to be a characteristic for those with various forms of inflammatory disease, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis. Ulnar Deviation Splints help to correct alignment of joints of the fingers and may improve extension, strength, and function of the hand. They may also reduce pain and joint stiffness. This splint type may also be used to assist with realignment and stabilization in patients with joint laxity and muscle weakness. Not intended for use with fixed contractures of the hand. Allard specializes in the design and manufacture of a wide variety of orthoses that are intended to support weak or injured parts of the forearm, wrist, thumb, and hand. They can also correct orthopedic malposition and are often adapted to meet special needs of individual patients.
