ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic leg brace to correct "cow hock" and "splayed" leg conditions of large birds such as ratites. The brace comprises a spring steel band which arches over the bird's back and fastens to leather cuffs above the hock of each leg. For a "splayed" leg condition another piece of spring steel is hinged to each end of the steel band and the other end is fastened to another set of leather cuffs just above each foot to pull the feet back into normal position.
