Session one today was the cutting off of the cast around the finger. Now this surgeon did not want that thing to move. The finger man filled his waste bin with all the offcuts, layer after layer of padding. We got down to the actual finger which looked messy but alcohol swipes soon cleaned it up and some movement is already possible without pain. A splint was molded out of a synthetic board that melts and reforms around any shape that you want. So instantly there is a hard shell that fits the finger perfectly which can be slipped on and off. There are a lot of stitches still in there.
