What the Evidence Shows

Upper Extremity

• Maintaining an appropriate balance between mobilization and immobilization is a central challenge in hand rehabilitation and has a decisive impact on tissue healing, functional recovery, and patient outcomes [7].
• Relative motion and metacarpophalangeal joint blocking orthoses can be used interchangeably for managing trigger finger, as symptom severity, pain, hand function, and orthosis wearability outcomes support this equivalence [13].
• Proximal interphalangeal joint orthosis and therapeutic exercise demonstrate feasibility and short-term clinical improvement for trigger finger but cannot establish superiority over other conservative treatments due to the absence of a control group [4].
• Pain and functional outcomes are comparable between no immobilization and a 3-week immobilization period after primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty [11].
• Mid-frequency electrical muscle stimulation during the immobilization period after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair effectively prevents early post-operative deltoid muscle atrophy and accelerates early recovery of shoulder muscle strength [20].
• The recommendation that adult patients with a scaphoid waist fracture displaced by ≤ 2 mm should be treated initially with immobilization in a cast, followed by early fixation of a nonunion, is corroborated by five-year follow-up findings [16].
• Union consolidated in patients with > 20% bridging without intervention between one and five years after randomization for scaphoid waist fractures [12].
• Waterproof casts for upper limb fractures in children require definitive RCTs to confirm efficacy and investigate cost-effectiveness, as pooling of studies was limited by heterogeneity and small study sizes [15].

Lower Extremity

• Exercise under blood flow restriction in combination with a brace could serve as an alternative treatment for participants with acute or subacute complete ACL tears, potentially reducing recovery time or avoiding surgery [31].
• Supportive bandage, removable splint, and walking casts are all well tolerated with similar complication rates for low-risk ankle fractures in children, with equipoise remaining regarding the best treatment [14].
• The combined intervention of kinesio taping and conventional rehabilitation led to more significant improvements in shoulder range of motion and functional scores compared to conventional rehabilitation alone for military personnel with recurrent shoulder dislocation [30].
• Adding thoracic extension exercises or thoracic kinesio taping to shoulder exercises resulted in significant improvements in activity-related pain and self-reported disability exceeding previously reported MCID values for adults with subacromial pain syndrome [29].

Surgical Augmentation and Internal Braces

• Athletes who underwent UCL repair with internal brace reported excellent midterm patient-reported outcomes statistically similar to those after UCL reconstruction, including the proportion successfully returning to preinjury sport [19].
• Shoelace repair with internal brace may be a viable surgical option for UCL injuries with chronic avulsion bone fragments in carefully selected young athletes with minimal ligament degeneration and good tissue quality, particularly when early return to play is prioritized [21].
• UCL repair with internal brace for high-level pitchers with recurrent UCL injury after UCL reconstruction shows promising short-term results with excellent return-to-sport and patient-reported outcomes [33].
• Meniscotibial repair with suture anchors with internal brace augmentation for the MCL repair can provide a strong final construct and a safe and fast recovery [34].
• Modified anatomical reconstruction of the medial collateral ligament with tibial sling bone tunnels and double-bundle semitendinosus tendon aims to restore knee stability more isometrically to improve long-term efficacy and help prevent complications such as osteoarthritis and functional limitations [32].

Technology and General

• 3D-printed orthoses face limitations such as small sample sizes, lack of standardized assessment methods, and durability concerns that must be addressed through further research [9].

Practical Considerations

Upper Extremity and Shoulder

• The conclusion that sling immobilization is not inferior to brace immobilization after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair cannot be attributed solely to the type of immobilization [1].
• Pain and functional outcomes after primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty are comparable between no immobilization and a 3-week immobilization period [11].
• Mid-frequency electrical muscle stimulation applied during the immobilization period after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair effectively prevents early post-operative deltoid muscle atrophy and accelerates early recovery of shoulder muscle strength [20].

Wrist and Hand

• For adult patients with a scaphoid waist fracture displaced by ≤ 2 mm, initial treatment with immobilization in a cast followed by early fixation of a nonunion is corroborated by five-year follow-up findings [16].
• In patients with a scaphoid waist fracture and > 20% bridging, union consolidated without intervention between one and five years after randomization [12].
• Orthoses offer a good alternative to plaster casts for the conservative treatment of distal radius fractures, especially for stable fracture types [8].
• If patients with minimally displaced distal radial fractures can be treated safely using a removable splint, this saves them time and inconvenience regarding additional hospital visits and saves the healthcare system money [2].
• Findings from a prospective case series on proximal interphalangeal joint orthosis and therapeutic exercise for trigger finger demonstrate feasibility and short-term clinical improvement but cannot establish superiority over other conservative treatments due to the absence of a control group [4].
• Maintaining an appropriate balance between mobilization and immobilization is a central challenge in hand rehabilitation that has a decisive impact on tissue healing, functional recovery, and patient outcomes [7].

Lower Extremity and General

• For low-risk ankle fractures in children, supportive bandage, removable splint, and walking casts all appear well tolerated with similar complication rates, leaving equipoise regarding the best treatment [14].
• Kinesiotaping can be considered an alternative choice of supplementary treatment together with exercise therapy for shin splints [10].
• Limitations of 3D-printed orthoses, including small sample sizes, lack of standardized assessment methods, and durability concerns, must be addressed through further research [9].
• Pooling of studies on waterproof casts for upper limb fractures in children was limited by heterogeneity and small study sizes, and definitive RCTs are required to confirm efficacy and investigate cost-effectiveness [15].
