title: Alternate splint for flexion contracture in children with burns.
abstract: Splinting children and ensuring that children wear the splint can be challenging tasks for both the therapist and the caregiver. Sometimes creativity is needed to create a pediatric splint that is easy to don and stays in place. These authors describe their challenge with pediatric burn patients either not wearing or losing their splint and how they now combine the splint directly into the pressure garment to ensure better patient compliance
