lurker and hand therapist here… two dorsal blocking splints with PIP in flexion could be a myriad of injuries but all of them have a long recovery and can be huge buggers. dislocations are complicated at those joints and could have involvement of some extensor tendon structures. they can be very painful and difficult manage especially if he’s been trying to throw this whole time. there are some splinting options if its a dislocation without any tendon involvement that could allow him to get back on the field quicker but honestly with those I’d put the brakes on expectations even if he does come back.

I put this on during a break so maybe more doomy than I meant; to be fair there are a few more minor things it could be as well. If he did have only a deep laceration in a volar crease the therapist could have them in flexion to help healing. I’ve certainly done that before, I’ve seen heavy scabbing in some wounds last for 6+ weeks. Usually when I make those splints though, its for a dislocation with some level of instability; volar plate sprain or tendon disruption.

Lets say it was a dislocation – he could be fully stable at 30 degrees of flexion to full flexion and could be released by his provider to play with splints protecting him from extending fully. but he would still have some level of swelling and pain. If this was the case I would not expect him to feel 100%

I can’t tell if it is me or not but the stream is beyond choppy.  For some reason (first time this season) my directv log in shows that I can only watch it on my tv…which isn’t here.
