Boxer's Fracture Splint
The Hely Weber TKO (The Knuckle Orthosis) Boxer's fracture splint is the most versatile brace for hand injuries including metacarpal fractures, or collateral ligament injuries of the phalanges. The TKO effectively immobilizes the hand to not allow rotation of the fourth/fifth fingers. It's suitable for both non-surgical treatment, as well as, for protection following surgical reduction of a metacarpal fracture. This Boxer's fracture splint has a "window" to accomodate pins in the fourth or fith metacarpals on the medial side of the brace, and a moldable, padded aluminum stay to maintain the required degreee of PIP flexion for a collateral ligament injury. The aluminum stay can be easily bent in seconds to place the last two fingers in the perfect healing position.
The boxer's fracture splint is a one size fits all product that can be used on any size patient with a metacarpal fracture. Unlike hard plastic splint designs, this model is comfortable to wear day or night and can be washed in the sink if needed. The item's velcro straps are easy to fasten in place for the right level of support and comfort. If needed, the physician can examine the hand more easily compared to an applied cast, and the material will not interfere with taking x-rays of the fracture.
Indications:
- Boxer's Fracture, metacarpal fracture, or fractures of the proximal phalanges.
- Use as an ulnar gutter splint or a boxer splint.
- Proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) and Interphalangeal joint (IP) injuries.
- Collateral ligament injuries to the proximal phalanges.
 
 
Boxer Splint Features:
- Straps are infinitely adjustable for fit and comfort for a variety or proximal phalangeal injuries.
- Oval opening accommadates any pins used following surgery for a Boxer's fracture.
- Reduces pain & swelling through maintenance or proper allignment of the hand and phalangeal joints.
- Distal Buddy Strapping eliminates rotation of the finger- perfect for collateral ligament injuries to the phalangeal joints where rotation can interfere with the healing process.
- Padded alluminum stays are malleable allowing for quick size adjustments for different size hands.
- Reversible - can be used as a radial gutter splint to immobilze the first two fingers.
Available Sizes: Universal size; fits wrist circumference of 4.5" - 9.5"; This boxer splint is specific to the side and location of the fracture. If you have an injury to the right hand with a fracture to the 4th and 5th metacarpals, choose a right. If the fracture is to the right 2nd or 3rd metacarpals then choose a "left" brace. Reverse these directions for an injury to the left hand.
