Hi Virginia, sorry about your guinea's leg. In case you haven't found it yet, here's a link to the ER forum: Emergencies / Diseases / Injuries and Cures

Best wishes!

Welcome! At this point it's unlikely that any form of splinting would help with a hatch deformity, as the bones are already set in place.
