A dynamic wrist splint with enhanced design, or the anti ulnocarpus supination splint can help reduce the volar sag of the ulnar carpus to prevent further supination in palmer midcarpal instability. It may replace the static splint if symptoms of ulnocarpus instability are increasingly prominent after the swelling and pain are well controlled
