A digital/metacarpal splint having an elongate bone splint that is selectively positionable into splinting position with the digital bones of any one of the five fingers of a patient's hand, or with the metacarpal bones of a patient's hand. An elongate bone splint is connected to a palm plate, and the palm plate is connected to an elastic sleeve, the splint being mounted on the patient's hand and wrist through use of the elastic sleeve. The connection between bone splint and palm plate allows the bone splint to be easily and simply positioned and, thereafter, immobilized, to splint any of the hand's digital bones or metacarpal bones after the elastic sleeve, i.e., after the adjustable splint, is installed on the patient. The bone splint/palm plate connection includes a tang on one of the bone splint and the palm plate that is pivotably receivable in a tang bore formed in the other of the bone splint and the palm plate, an arcuate slot formed in one of the bone splint and the palm plate that cooperates with a slot bore formed in the other of the bone splint and the palm plate, and a fastener that passes through the slot and slot bore which is tightened when the bone splint is suitably positioned relative to the palm plate to hold those components in the desired angular position relative one to the other.

Adjustable digital/metacarpal splint

Digital and metacarpal splint apparatus wherein an elongate splint member is adjustably positionable into anatomical alignment with any one of the fingers of the hand. The apparatus comprises an elongate splint member and apparatus for mounting the splint member to the body for pivotal movement about an axis which passes through an end region of the splint member and for locking the splint member into a selected position.
