Elbow fractures in children

Everyone remembers the active childhood. Huge abrasions on the skin was a reality. Sometimes, together with abrasions come fractures. In most cases, elbow fractures in children are caused by a fall on an outstretched arm, e.g. in a playground or by a direct blow or fall on the olecranon. Many elbow injuries occur on the playground when children lose their grip on the monkey bars or in sport, e.g. when child falls from the bicycle.

Childhood elbow fractures are about 10% of all childhood fractures. In many cases conservative treatment is enough and surgery is not necessary. But, fractures are also connected with soft tissues, nerves and tendons, which may impact on loss of joint mobility. Due to this fact, fast treatment and intervention are necessary. Instead of heavy cast, try our innovative, lightweight elbow splint FIX-KG-19 with range of motion adjustment in every 15 degrees.

Product’s description

FIX-KG-19 elbow splint is an excellent option for elbow immobilization. Light weight, anatomic shaped splint provides perfect stabilization and is comfortable for little child. Our innovative drop-lock 1R-01 provides range of motion adjustment in every 15 degrees without additional tools. Magnet and steel pins provides fast application and adjustment. The splint fits on the upper limb perfectly, because of anatomic design.

The 1R Orthodesign orthopedic brace is a novel approach to the topic of adjustable-angle orthopedic braces. The innovativeness of the brace lies in the fact that we have applied an angle adjustment of 15 degrees in a clock with a diameter not exceeding 30 mm. An additional advantage of the brace is that the adjustment is not done using Allen screws, as it was in the previous generation of the brace, but using inserted steel rivets, which are easily removed from the angle sockets using a magnet included with the brace. The icing on the cake is the locking ring, which, thanks to the ratchet system, will prevent the previously set angle from being automatically readjusted. In knee braces, the braces have a shin offset, which allows for more precise fitting of the knee brace, and therefore more accurately realizes the regulation of joint mobility. In other products, the braces have a straight shape. An oval element is mounted on the underside of the clock to which a gripper is glued, which is essential for attaching soft 3D side cushions to the clock. These braces, using an orthopedic key offered by Reh4Mat, can be individually adjusted to the shape of the patient's limb in some cases by slightly bending them.

Soft parts of the brace are made of innovative fabric UniPren™ and UniTape™.

Wrap around straps with Velcro closures make the brace easy to put and remove.

UniPren™ is a universal 3-layer material consisting of an external elastic polyamide cover knit with a self-adhesive function, an internal neoprene foam core and an elastic jersey cover knit. This material is characterized by softness and very high flexibility. A very important advantage of this material is the fact that it is not a knitted product, it does not have thick fibers, so that the weaves of the material do not imprint on the patient's skin and do not cause abrasionsin places of high compression. Products made of UniPren™ are the strongest and most effective stabilizing orthoses available on the market. Self-adhesive function, the raw material makes it much easier to use.

UniTape™ is a technological orthopedic lamination with high durability with double-sided self-gripping function. UniTape™ is very thin and easy to attach what allows to fit the braces precisely.

Our kids elbow brace FIX-KG-19 provides full day and night stabilization and immobilization. UniPren is a waterproof fabric, your child may take a shower without removing the brace from the limb.

Wide range of motion helps to maintain the effect of physiotherapy and exercises. This solution prevents against the muscles contractures and improves healing.
