Abstract

The wrist band (10) holds a flexible member (4) whose edges are welded together (15) near the tip of the thumb (18) and which extends round the thumb and palm and the back of the hand. The first phalange (6) and the first metacarpal (8) may be connected by a sheath or implant (5) and there are splints (12) running along the line of the bones.

DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION

L'invention concerne une orthèse pour le traitement des entorses de l'articulation métacarpo-phalangienne du pouce, plus particulièrement des ligaments latéraux cubital et radial, apte à empêcher les mouvements de latéralité de ladite articulation. Les entorses de l'articulation métacarpo-phalangienne du pouce sont des lésions fréquentes dans la pratique sportive et plus particulièrement dans la pratique  The invention relates to an orthosis for the treatment of sprains of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb, more particularly of the ulnar and radial lateral ligaments, capable of preventing lateral movements of said joint. Sprains of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb are frequent lesions in sports and more particularly in sports.

Globalement, le ligament latéral cubital est le plus souvent touché (86 % des cas) mais les atteintes du ligament latérai radial, bien que moins fréquentes, doivent être  Overall, the ulnar lateral ligament is most often affected (86% of cases) but damage to the lateral lateral ligament, although less frequent, must be

traitées avec la même attention et la même rigueur.  treated with the same attention and the same rigor.

S'il est vrai que ces entorses surviennent dans les 50 % des cas lors d'une activité sportive, il n'en reste pas moins que 38 % sont dues à un accident de travail et 12 %  While it is true that these sprains occur in 50% of cases during a sporting activity, the fact remains that 38% are due to a work accident and 12%

à des accidents domestiques ou de la voie publique.  domestic or public road accidents.

Pour les entorses de gravité moyenne ou grande (avec intervention chirurgicale), le traitement a recours à une immobilisation rigide pour environ 4 semaines. Celle-ci est en général réalisée au moyen de plâtre ou de résine nécessitant un acte médical et occasionnant un usage réduit de la main concernée dans les activités de la vie  For sprains of medium or large severity (with surgical intervention), the treatment uses rigid immobilization for approximately 4 weeks. This is generally carried out by means of plaster or resin requiring a medical procedure and causing a reduced use of the hand concerned in the activities of life

quotidienne et professionnelle.daily and professional.

il existe également des orthèses immobilisant complètement l'articulation métacarpo-phalangienne comportant une partie souple palmaire et dorsale et une partie renforcée (en forme de manchon) ou thermoformable (directement sur le pouce). L'immobilisation totale de l'articulation est traumatisante car elle ne permet aucune mobilité dans le pian de la flexion-extension et a pour conséquence une  there are also orthoses that completely immobilize the metacarpophalangeal joint comprising a flexible palmar and dorsal part and a reinforced part (in the form of a sleeve) or thermoformable part (directly on the thumb). Total immobilization of the joint is traumatic because it allows no mobility in the plane of flexion-extension and results in a

récupération plus lente de la fonction.  slower recovery of function.

L'invention vise donc à réaliser une orthèse de conception simple, libérant au maximum l'usage de la main, autorisant une légère mobilité sur le plan de la flexion-extension et immobilisant de manière stricte le pouce dans ses possibilités  The invention therefore aims to produce an orthosis of simple design, freeing the use of the hand as much as possible, allowing slight mobility in terms of flexion-extension and strictly immobilizing the thumb in its possibilities.

En outre, ladite orthèse peut également bloquer le poignet avec pour avantage  In addition, said orthosis can also block the wrist with the advantage

l'amélioration de la stabilité de la colonne du pouce.  improving the stability of the thumb column.

L'orthèse selon l'invention comporte essentiellement: a) un élément, en matériau souple, constitué d'un fourreau entourant sensibiement la zone de la première phalange, d'une pièce s'étendant dudit fourreau au poignet et recouvrant au moins les parties dorsales et latérales de la zone du premier -2 métacargien et du trapèze, et d'une bande de fixation entourant le poignet;  The orthosis according to the invention essentially comprises: a) an element, made of flexible material, consisting of a sheath sensibly surrounding the area of the first phalanx, of a piece extending from said sheath to the wrist and covering at least the parts dorsal and lateral of the area of the first metacargus -2 and the trapezium, and of a fixation band surrounding the wrist;

b) un élément, en matériau rigide, solidarisé à l'élément souple.  b) an element, made of rigid material, secured to the flexible element.

Elle se caractérise essentiellement en ce que ledit élément rigide est constitué de deux éclisses situées le long des bords cubital et radial du pouce, en regard des S ligaments latéraux de l'articulation métacarpophalangienne, et s'étendant au moins  It is essentially characterized in that said rigid element consists of two ribs located along the ulnar and radial edges of the thumb, opposite the lateral ligaments of the metacarpophalangeal joint, and extending at least
