A brace for reducing a metacarpal fracture is presented. The brace
comprises a palm plate and a finger trough for receiving a finger having
a metacarpal fracture. The trough couples to the palm plate at a proper
angle of flexion for reducing the fracture. An individual places the
brace on the plamar side of their hand and places the finger having the
fracture in the trough. A fastening system holds the brace in a stable
position on the hand. The trough maintains the metacarpal-phalangeal
joint at the proper angle of flexion while also maintaining necessary
axial compression along the finger to reduce the fracture.
