Like everything else, differnet strokes for different folks. Most in our medical community would support the use of dynamic splint, not to say that a traditional splint is wrong, but again, different surgeons, different area, different opinion.

Yikes, glad you’re okay! Even with safety gear, machines can be unpredictable, staying alert is key.Originally posted by ajholt7 View PostI am a mechanic in a plastic factory. I was replacing blades in a plastic grinder. The grinder was unplugged, I was wearing cut resistant gloves, and all the safeties were in place. The grinder has 3 blades that spin and two stationary blades that must be set to the proper gap. As I was setting the blades, the shaft tightened up. I pulled up on the shaft and it instantly broke loose. Momentum carried the blade up into my hand. This probably makes no sense if you have never seen one of these grinders. For what it is worth the blades were so sharp I didn't know I had been cut and I kept working until I saw blood. Wow, glad you’re okay! Even with safety gear, accidents happen staying alert is always key, just like I’ve seen during roof repair Long Island work around sharp tools.

I was not prepared for that. Made me pucker up where the sun doesn't shine. Glad you still have fingers.
