ABSTRACT:
There is an adjustable splint for fractures or other injuries of the figure or toe. The splint comprises an anchor plate adapted to be secured against the wearer's palm or sole by a velcro strap or the like, and a channel member which is engagable with apertures in the anchor plate at any one of a range of positions to align with the finger or toe fracture to be set. The channel portion is shaped to cradle and immobilize the finger or toe fracture and is pivotal relative to the anchor plate by a hinge. There are also apertures in the channel member for ventilation and to enable the fitting of a rest member to impose a degree of flexion onto the fracture during healing. There are hinge lines and breaking lines on the channel member to facilitate fitting to the finger or toe fracture.
