Orthopedic fixture

An orthopedic fixture comprising:

• a pair of buffer members each comprised of a mixture containing a predetermined amount of elastic granules and a predetermined amount of a water-curable resin having an elasticity after curing sufficient for bonding the elastic granules after curing of the water-curable resin;
• and a support member disposed between the buffer members and adapted to be positioned around a diseased or injured part of a patient's body and conformed to the shape of the diseased or injured part.

An orthopedic fixture comprising:

• a support member adapted to be positioned around a diseased or injured part of a patient's body and conformed to the shape of the diseased or injured part;
• and at least one buffer member comprised of a mixture containing a predetermined amount of elastic granules and a predetermined amount of a water-curable resin having an elasticity after curing sufficient for bonding the elastic granules after curing of the water-curable resin, the mixture forming a mass before curing of the water-curable resin so that when the support member is positioned around the diseased or injured part and pressure is applied to the mass, the elastic granules move one another to shape the mass into a configuration corresponding to the shape of the diseased or injured part.
