Context 1
... It has since been further modified adding a sixth position (hand-to-belly). 66 Administering the modified Mallet classification involves observing the child positioning his/ her upper extremity in standard positions unaided by compensation and scoring the observed movement on a scale between I (no function) and V (full function) ( Figure 5). The Mallet classification is validated for use in children with BPBI and has demonstrated good intra-and inter-observer reliability, as well as internal consistency. ...

... whose injury does not fully reslove during the first three months should undergo dynamic US screening during the first year. If restriction of passive ER in adduction is observed (<70°), or subluxation is detectedon US, BTX injections to all internal rotators should be administered in combination with a six-week continuous spica brace ( Figure 5 and 15). ...
