Background:

The Bohler-Braun splint is a standard device for non-surgical fracture treatment of the lower extremities.
Its bulkiness presents challenges in confined environments or during transport.
A need exists for a more compact and manageable version of this essential orthopedic device.

Purpose of the Study:

To redesign the Bohler-Braun splint to enhance portability.
To maintain the therapeutic efficacy of the original splint in a more compact form factor.

Main Methods:

Modification of the traditional Bohler-Braun splint design.
Development of a portable configuration for the splint.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

A modified, portable Bohler-Braun splint has been successfully developed.
The new design addresses the issue of bulkiness inherent in the original splint.

Conclusions:

The portable Bohler-Braun splint offers a practical alternative for lower limb fracture management.
This innovation improves the usability of the splint in diverse clinical and field settings.
