Fingers brace AM-SP-01

Boxer’s fracture

Boxer’s fracture is a common condition also in daily activities, not only in sport. It is a fracture at the neck of the fourth and fifth bones that forms the knuckles of a hand. It occurs when patient strikes an object with a closed fist.

Boxer’s fracture is divided into 2 types:

1. Brawler’s fracture – the fracture occurs at the neck of the fifth metacarpal forming the knuckle of the little finger
2. Bar Room fracture – occurs at the neck of the fourth or fifth metacarpal

Typical symptoms of fracture are pain, swelling and bruising around the fourth and fifth bones. The first goal of treatment is immobilization the fingers to permit proper healing and reduce the pain.

MATERIALS

AeroSpace II™

AeroSpace II™ is an innovative new generation raw material. It is a distance elastic 3D knitted fabric consisting of two layers of facings and an interlacing that creates the appropriate thickness of the raw material and has relieving properties. The knitwear is made of the highest quality polyester yarn - guaranteeing high mechanical strength and spandex ensuring its proper flexibility. AeroSpace II™ has an external self-gripping layer what makes it easy to adjust each product to individual patient’s needs. This material is characterized by a very low weight, high flexibility and a very large openwork structure, allowing for very easy drainage of sweat from the body and bringing fresh air to the skin. Products made of this raw material are neutral to the secured joint, do not heat or cool it, but ensure its proper compression and fit and reduce muscle vibrations generated during physical exertion. Its thickness and 3D structure perfectly relieves the orthopedic splints, stays or other elements mounted on the product and guarantees velvety softness to the touch.

STIFFENINGS

Flat aluminum stays

Aluminum stays are made of a special aluminum alloy that guarantees proper stiffness with minimal weight. They have rounded ends to prevent the damage of the product and come in various widths and thicknesses. The level of stabilization of the orthopedic device is defined by proper selection of the width and thickness of the aluminum stays. The stays can be pre-profiled or flat. They do not adapt to the shape of the patient's body, an individual adjustment of the orthosis is required by proper bending of the aluminum stays in the product. Thanks to this function, it is possible to correct the position of the patient's body or the secured joint.
