Early ROM: Studies show with rigid open reduction and early fixation early motion with gradual q1hour active range of motion exercise without load are important as the edema and swelling decrease. A dynamic splint for protection is the probable next move in the splint hierarchy. See this study:http://www.jospt.org/doi/pdfplus/10.2519/jospt.2004.34.12.781
