Purpose:   To immobilize/support the forearm s/p fracture. Due to the circumferential nature of the splint the theory of Sarmiento fracture bracing allows the surrounding soft tissue to provide additional support to the long bone. If molded closely along the interosseous membrane, it can also limit rotation.

Diagnoses: Double bone forearm fracture

Nightstick fractures

Midshaft radius and/or ulna fracture following ORIF

Advantages: Lightweight

Removeable for skin care

Custom-molded for comfort and compliance
