- Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease of unknown origin characterized by inflammatory changes in the synovial tissue of joints, cartilage, and bone, and less frequently in extra-articular sites. The rheumatoid hand term used to describe the characteristic deformities of the hands of patients with RA typically includes varying degrees of thumb deformity, finger deformities, and ulnar deviation. One of the treatment approaches in RA hand deformities is the splinting approach. In this case, the results of splinting applied to hand deformities in a patient with RA are presented.
