ABSTRACT:
An orthopaedic brace for use in the treatment of fractures of a lower part of a limb such as the wrist or ankle is described. The brace comprises of two preformed portions, a first portion has two areas of high loading arranged distally and proximally on the portion and a second portion has one area of high loading at or near its center whereby the portions when fitted around a limb and fracture provide three point loading of the limb applied in two planes thereby maintaining the position of the fracture throughout the treatment period. In a preferred form the brace is used to treat Colles' fractures whereby the first portion fits on the dorsal/radial part of the arm and the second portion fits on the anterior/ulnar part of the arm, the two portions being held in place by means of straps attached to the first portion.
