Banjo Splint is indicated for which condition?

• A. Peripheral nerve injury
• B. Clubfoot
• C. Talipes Equino Varus
• D. Wrist drop

Answer: (A)

The Banjo splint is used to support the hand in a position that protects and aids recovery after nerve injury. By holding the wrist and fingers in a functional alignment, it helps maintain tendon length and prevent stiffness while the injured peripheral nerve heals and regenerates. This makes it a useful tool for upper limb peripheral nerve injuries, rather than for fixed foot deformities like clubfoot or talipes equino-varus. While wrist drop (radial nerve palsy) is a type of peripheral nerve problem, the splint’s broader indication is peripheral nerve injury in general, which is why that option is the most appropriate choice.
