Hely & Weber TKO The Knuckle Orthosis

The Hely & Weber TKO (The Knuckle Orthosis) provides comprehensive immobilization and support for a wide range of hand and finger injuries, including boxer's fractures, collateral ligament injuries, and metacarpal or proximal phalanx fractures. This innovative brace can be applied in four different configurations, making it one of the most versatile options available for hand injury management.

Constructed with padded aluminum stays that are fully malleable, the TKO can be shaped for a customized fit while accommodating swelling. Its distal buddy strapping eliminates finger rotation-a crucial feature for healing collateral ligament injuries. The adjustable hook-and-loop straps allow easy application and ensure comfort throughout the healing process.

Whether used as an ulnar gutter splint, radial gutter splint, or middle/ring finger splint, the TKO provides stability without compromising thumb mobility, allowing patients to maintain function during recovery.

How the Hely & Weber TKO - The Knuckle Orthosis Works

The Hely & Weber TKO (The Knuckle Orthosis) is designed to stabilize the hand and protect injured fingers during the healing process. Its unique 4-in-1 design allows the brace to function as an ulnar gutter splint, radial gutter splint, or a middle and ring finger splint, giving physicians and patients flexibility in treatment.

1. Immobilization for Healing The padded, malleable aluminum stays support the metacarpals, proximal phalanx, and MCP joints. This immobilization reduces motion at the fracture site, helping bone and soft tissue injuries heal properly.

2. Prevention of Finger Rotation The built-in distal buddy strapping prevents the injured finger from rotating - a common issue in collateral ligament injuries. By keeping the finger aligned, the TKO ensures a more stable and faster recovery.

3. Customizable Comfort Swelling and pain can change throughout recovery. The TKO's adjustable straps and moldable stays allow patients to fine-tune the fit at any stage, ensuring comfort without sacrificing support.

4. Post-Surgical Protection For patients who have surgical pins in place, the brace includes an oval opening to accommodate hardware without irritation. This design makes it easy to protect the hand while still allowing physicians to monitor healing progress.

5. Daily Use & Convenience Constructed from breathable Kuhl Neoprene, the TKO can be worn comfortably all day and easily hand-washed for hygiene. Its lightweight, low-profile design allows patients to continue everyday activities with less restriction compared to a traditional cast.
