Abstract

It is believed that this splint affords a much more effective method for correction of medial tibial torsion, either as a single entity or in association with foot deformities, than has been presented heretofore. Many severe deformities which ordinarily would require expensive walking braces may be corrected with the more economical A-frame splint. The duration of treatment is shortened, and no untoward effects are produced.
