ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is orthopaedic apparatus for comfortably maintaining a selectable eversion-angle between the sole-axes of a reclining patient's shoes. As in the prior art, each of the patient's two shoes is equipped with a shoe-stud, there being a plate member angularly rotatable about the shoe-stud and carrying a radially-offset and laterally extending primary-pivot station; the two primary-pivots are longitudinally bridged with a laterally rigid splint. Departing from the prior art, the novel orthopaedic splint of the present invention includes at least two splint-pivots within the longitudinal splint-length which do not detract from the required lateral rigidity, but which splint-pivots do permit splint movement in a plane intersecting the primary-pivots and thereby offer more comfort to and growth accommodation for a patient being orthopaedically treated for internal tibial distortion.
