Hello everyone,

Has anyone used a custom hinged carpal splint from Animal Ortho Care for bracial plexus avulsion to facilitate limb extension and placement? If so, would you be willing to share your thoughts or experience with the product? Feel free to contact me off the list serve. Thank you!

We put a 2 year old very active lab in a k9 orthotics custom brace over 2 yrs ago. It was not hinged as he never regained any carpal control (radial nerve injury persisted) after brachial plexus avulsion from hbc. He returned to all his old activities, including camping, hiking, swimming & wrestling with other dogs almost immediately after bracing. Last I spoke to family was about 4 months ago & still doing great.
