Hi Bharath, You need a custom-molded cock-up splint to support your wrist and thumb. Brands like Breg or Dr.Finger are good options. However, splint alone won’t ensure full recovery — you must start physiotherapy urgently and consult a hand surgeon for further evaluation. Delay will reduce chances of full function.

Treatment with splint only is not enough. You should go to physiotherapy rehabilitation and consult hand surgeon as well. This treatment plan would give you complete restoration of function
