Ulna Fracture Brace
Overlapping volar and dorsal shells allow for ease of adjustment, accommodating for volumetric changes of soft tissue associated with fracture healing. Eliminates the need for serial casting. Incorporation of an interosseous groove helps to separate the radius and ulna aiding stabilization. Flared edges are incorporated at the distal end of the brace providing superior comfort throughout active range of motion. Design allows for early return to function. Fitting instructions detailing UFB fitting and hygiene are included with each UFB to help insure patient compliance.
