Management of Proximal Interphalangeal (PIP) Joint Injuries
Sponsor: Unity Health Toronto
Summary
This project seeks to compare the treatment efficacy of two different approaches to treating interphalangeal joint (PIP) joint injuries. The investigators will compare two participant groups undergoing treatment using the current treatment standard (Coban wrap) as well as an innovative treatment approach (neoprene sleeve) in treating the PIP joint injury.

Interventions
Coban wrap
A Coban bandage or wrap is a self-adhering elastic wrap that sticks to itself but not to skin or clothing. It is commonly used as a wrap on limbs due to its ability to adhere to itself and not loosen. Coban is often used as a compression bandage
Neoprene sleeve
Neoprene sleeve is an innovative treatment approach, it consists of a synthetic rubber-like material used to provide compressive support. Neoprene sleeves can provide protection, light compression and mild extension support while allowing full finger flexion.
