Understanding Your Fracture Immobilization Options

Selecting the right fracture splint or brace depends on the location of the break and the recommendation of your orthopedic specialist. At DME-Direct, we categorize our supports based on the specific clinical needs of the patient:

1. Upper Extremity Bracing

For fractures of the arm and hand, immobilization must protect the bone without unnecessarily freezing adjacent joints.

  • Humeral Braces: Often used for mid-shaft humerus fractures, these use circumferential compression to stabilize the bone while allowing elbow and shoulder movement (Functional Bracing).

  • Wrist & Forearm Splints: Designed for radius or ulna fractures, providing a "half-cast" rigidity that is breathable and adjustable.

2. Lower Extremity Bracing

Weight-bearing and stabilization are the priorities for leg injuries.

  • Tibial Fracture Braces: These specialized fracture braces allow for early weight-bearing in stable tibial fractures, promoting faster bone density recovery.

  • Ankle & Foot Splints: Used for metatarsal breaks or ankle stress fractures, these provide high-impact protection with custom-fit padding.

Why Physicians Choose DME-Direct for Fracture Supplies

Unlike general retail supports, our fracture splints are clinical-grade devices used in hospitals and orthopedic clinics worldwide. By offering a variety of rigid fiberglass, high-density polyethylene, and soft-padded options, we ensure that every patient finds the precise degree of immobilization needed to prevent malunion and promote safe, effective healing.
