“With INnate, my patients are returning to work much sooner. In exchange for about 5 extra minutes in the operating room, I spare my patients the 3 weeks of immobilization and the irritation that can be caused by a transcutaneous K-wire. I am now asking them to see the hand therapist at 1 week postoperatively for fabrication of a removable splint and to begin range of motion. When I see them back 10-14 days postoperatively, they have all been pain-free with full range of motion and minimal edema. They are already eager to return to work. This device allows for stable internal fixation with minimal surgical dissection, thus leading to minimal post-operative edema and pain.”
