Orthopedic redressment splint

An orthopedic redressment splint for correcting an adduction of a forefoot and metatarsus comprising in combination:

• an anterior half sole enclosing at least laterally a deformed foot portion;
• a posterior half sole for enclosing at least a part of a remaining foot portion;
• a pivot pin is disposed on a lateral edge of the two half soles to flexibly and swivelably interconnected through a vertical to a half sole plane, said pivot pin located at a level of articulation of a Condyle of a fifth metatarsal bone;
• and,
• a first and second extensions, said extension protruding from the lateral edge of each sole half and overlapping each other and are penetrated by said pivot pin;
• and,
• a compression spring whose elastic force acts in a lateral direction upon the anterior half sole to load the half soles with a spring bias away from each other on a medial side.

A method for correcting an adduction of a forefoot and metatarsus comprising:

• providing an orthopedic redressment splint having an anterior half sole for enclosing at least laterally a deformed foot portion and a posterior half sole;
• providing a pivot pin disposed on a lateral edge of the two half soles to flexibly and swivelably interconnected through a vertical to a half sole plane;
• providing a spring whose elastic force acts in a lateral direction upon the anterior half sole in that the spring is a pressure spring with the aid of which the half soles are spring-loaded relative to each other on a medial side;
• and,
• placing a foot within said splint.
