A digit splint is defined by an arcuate angularly inclined base and an ovoid which extends upwardly and radially outward from the base. The base is positioned on the palmar side of a joint of a digit and the ovoid conforms to the dorsum of a digit when the digit is in an extended position without hyperextension. The ovoid has two substantially parallel sides which, when worn, conform to impinge on the sides of the joint of a digit at the axis to provide lateral stability at the joint of a digit and to prevent migration of the splint on a digit. The splint also prevents hyperextension of the joint of a digit. In an alternate configuration, the splint may be rotated 180 degrees about the horizontal axis on a joint of a finger. In this configuration, the splint provides lateral stability at a joint of a digit and corrects flexion at a joint of a digit.
