An orthopedic device includes a rigid or substantially rigid frame element
having a first thickness and a periphery, and an overmolded portion
surrounding at least a peripheral segment of the frame element periphery.
The overmolded portion encases the thickness of the peripheral segment
and interlocks with the frame element without fastener elements. The
combination of the frame element and the overmolded portion are adapted
to secure against an anatomical portion.
