Splint vs. cast vs. brace: What’s the difference? 🩹

👉🏽 A splint is rigid on one side and allows swelling after an injury or surgery.
👉🏽 A cast is hard all around and offers the most support, perfect for stabilizing fractures.
👉🏽 A brace uses Velcro and metal, is easy to remove, and still lets you move a bit — great for later stages of healing.

Not sure which one you need? Dr. David Ratliff and the Modern Orthopaedics team can guide you through it!

Waking up with numb fingers? 😴

Numbness in your pinky and ring finger might be more than just sleeping funny; it could be cubital tunnel syndrome, caused by pressure on the ulnar (funny bone) nerve at your elbow.

🖐️ Left untreated, it can lead to muscle weakness in your hand.

Wondering why your joints ache?

Arthritis isn’t just one condition — it’s a group of issues causing joint pain and inflammation. Osteoarthritis, the most common type, comes from cartilage wearing down over time. 🦴

But genetics, autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, and other factors can also play a big role. 🤔
