ANKLE SPLINT ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An orthopedic ankle splint including an elongate body panel adapted to underlie the arch of the foot and extend upwardly from the arch to overlie the medial and lateral sides of the ankle. The posterior side edges of the panel are joined as by an elastic member and the anterior side edges of the panel are joined as by lacing. The cen- tral portion of the body panel is cut away to provide a heel opening and to provide for an upward pull on the arch of the foot toward dorsiflexion when the splint is laced to the ankle. Optionally, the splint includes a strap which is releasably anchored at one of its ends to one side of the arch area, extends beneath the arch, upwardly along the lateral side of the foot, overwrapping the superior surface of the ankle, and has its other end releasably anchored to the exterior surface of the splint at a location immediately above the medial malleolus. Such strap provides for support to and restraint against inward and downward flexion or hyperextension of the ankle, especially the anterior talo- fibular ligament.
