A splint and a kit from which the splint is assembled include a plurality of components having a planar configuration for compact storage when in the kit, but having a three-dimensional configuration conforming to the desired body contours when the splint is assembled, The individual planar kit components include a rigid support member, a pad for cushioning the support member against the body, a plurality of straps for securing the support member to the body, and a pair of flexion members for fixedly retaining the flexion angle of the support member. The support member is an elongated surface having two longitudinal grooves formed therein that act as contour joints, and two slits formed therethrough perpendicular to the grooves that act as flexion joints. The joints remain fully extended and flat in the kit, but when the splint is assembled from the kit, the contour joints are flexed to impart a u-shape to the support member conforming to the desired contour of the body. The flexion joints are likewise flexed to a selected flexion angle for the body joint and the flexion members are fastened to the support member surface across the slits to fix the flexion angle.
