Abstract
An ajustable splint assembly is shown. The assembly is composed of a distal strut and a proximal strut pivotably connected to the distal strut. One of the struts has at one end a pivotably mounted head portion defining a cam surface. The other strut has an adjustable biasing means mounted within it and is biased into engagement with the cam surface for applying a quantifiable force tending to align or proximate said upper and lower struts. A limb cradle is slidably mounted on the distal strut. The splint assembly also includes means for laterally adjusting said cradle to accommodate a limb part, a platform for supporting a proximal limb part, means connecting said platform to the proximal strut, said platform being longitudinally adjustable, and means for securing said splint assembly to the limb.
