The Mexican hat splint--a new splint for the treatment of closed mallet finger.

Abstract
A new splint for the treatment of closed mallet finger injuries is described. This is a modified aluminium-foam ('Zimmer') splint, which takes account of the skin circulation at the distal interphalangeal joint, and is specifically designed to alleviate the potential problems which can be seen with the traditional 'mallet finger' splints.
