Orthopaedic device

An orthopaedic device, the device comprising a splint and attachment means for removably securing the splint to a user's foot and lower leg, wherein the splint is configured such that in use, the user's foot and leg are maintained at an obtuse angle to one another and relative movement between the foot and the leg is substantially prevented, wherein the splint comprises a leg section and a foot section, the leg section defining a first plane, the foot section defining a second plane, the sections being rigidly joined such that the angle between the planes is from about 95° to about 155°, wherein the leg section and the foot section are sections of a single splint body, wherein the splint comprises a rigid shell which is configured to match the anatomical contours of the shin, ankle and top of the foot.
