ABSTRACT:
Device for the support of joints for orthopedic and surgical purposes, which permits use on the periphery or surface of the joint, in the principal plane of movement. The adaptation of the splint to, and its accompaniment of, the change in the configuration of the joint surface upon movements is assured by concatenation linkage of the joint splint, wherein the links, which are constructed as obtuse-angled bell cranks, are united to one another by articulations to form a chain such that, in the case of a radial movement of the splint links, they simultaneously produce a lengthening of the splint according to the principle of the Nuremberg scissors.
