An orthopedic bandage (1) for the treatment of trauma to the Achilles tendon comprising a support for the lower leg, a walking support comprising a sole (4) and a support device (5) configured for securing the sole relative to the lower leg portion in such a manner that the patient's foot is elevated above the walking surface, a foot support (16), a hinge (19) that secures the foot support relative to the walking support which is pivotal about an axis that coincides with the axis of the ankle joint, a means for limiting the pivoting movement of the foot support relative to the walking support to a predetermined range, and a releasable locking means (21) which may be activated to prevent pivoting of the foot support. Use of this bandage allows the patient to choose between a fixed position for his foot in order for him to be able to walk without straining his Achilles tendon, and a movable foot position for rehabilitation as needed.

Bandage orthopédique (1) servant à traiter un traumatisme subi par le tendon d'Achille et comprenant un support du bas de la jambe, un support de marche composé d'une semelle (4) et d'un dispositif de support (5) conçu pour fixer la semelle par rapport à la partie inférieure de la jambe, de façon à élever le pied du malade au-dessus de la surface de marche, un repose-pied (16), une articulation (19) fixant le repose-pied par rapport au support de marche qui est rotatif autour d'un axe coïncidant avec l'axe de l'articulation de la cheville, un moyen servant à limiter la rotation du repose-pied par rapport au support de marche à une plage de rotation prédéterminée, et un moyen de verrouillage (21) pouvant être débloqué et mis en service afin d'empêcher la rotation du repose-pied.
