Abstract
- Need for splinting of the wrist in axillary burns is a question of great importance especially when there is no marked burns on the wrist and hand. This article presents various potential problems due to non-splinting of the wrist, various promising solutions for those problems and a better way of splinting a client with axillary burns. Modification in axillary splinting will definitely lead to a rewarding upshot in increasing the client compliance with no major complications not only in managing axillary burns but also in managing an array of disease conditions with shoulder limitations.
