ABSTRACT:
A splint for reducing and maintaining in motionless position fractures of fingers and the metacarpus. The splint is designed such that it can be adapted in an optimum manner to the position of the broken finger assuming its intermediate bent position. For this purpose, the splint comprises a flat elongated base strip of plastically deformable material, said strip being movable in perpendicular direction to its plane, said strip being twistable around its longitudinal axis and said strip being shaped at its both opposing longitudinal edges such that the strip can also be bent within the plane of the strip. The splint has at least one transverse member being fixedly connected to the base strip at one end portion thereof and being, for the purpose of fixing the splint, bendable around the fore-arm in a direction perpendicular to its surface. The splint is provided with an envelope of resilient material.
