ABSTRACT:
An ankle fracture brace has a foot support portion which receives a foot of a patient. A convertible leg support portion receives a leg of the patient. The leg support portion includes a pair of spaced vertical arms connected by arm lower ends to sides of the foot support portion so as to extend upwardly past sides of an ankle of a patient and terminate adjacent sides of a calf of a patient. Upper end and lower end straps secure the leg support portion to the leg of the patient. These upper end and lower end straps are connected to the vertical arms adjacent the calf and ankle, respectively. A horizontal break line is formed in each of the arms between the upper end and lower end straps permitting a user to selectively sever the arms on the break lines to accommodate different patient uses of the ankle brace.
