<t>The "gunslinger" splint is coming off of our child this week.<br/> <br/> Just looking for comments on what to expect/best way to take the splint off.

Yes. Rubber bracelets in our area are woren

he really likes it. The brackets are really neat.

Good luck !!!

Take care.

<t>We, too, are trying to determine if we should have this surgery for our child. We have had the 3D Cat Scan done. Anyone..please let us know your results and how long ago your child had the surgery. Do you lose any range, movements ? We had the mod quad done several years back. Dr. Nath is awesome...
