1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a brace and method for immobilizing a fracture which allows the physician to adjustably position the pressure applied by the brace to more effectively reduce and immobilize the fracture. More particularly, the preferred brace of the present invention is designed to treat fractures in the hand, while allowing movement of the fingers and the wrist.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Approximately one-half of all accidents involve fractures in the hand or fingers. Fractures in the bones of the hand comprise approximately one-third of all fractures. The most frequent hand fracture involves the metacarpal, particularly the fifth metacarpal or a so called "boxer's fracture". Typical metacarpal deformity involves apex dorsal angulation. Since the metacarpal is somewhat superficial, the deformity takes the form of a bump on the dorsam of the hand and loss of the metacarpal head definition. The resulting prominence of the metacarpal head in the palm can cause discomfort, particularly in an individual who must grip tools or do heavy manual labor in his chosen profession.
Previous studies of hand fractures have suggested that angulation of the fracture up to 40� was acceptable without even attempting reduction of the fracture. Further, these studies suggest that if reduction could not easily be performed under a local anesthesia, angulation up to 70� was acceptable provided there was not excessive rotation of a distal fragment. Additionally, these studies suggested that angulation up to 70� was acceptable if the reduction could not be readily maintained.
More recent studies and text books reference patient dissatisfaction cosmetically, symptomatically and functionally with this degree of deformity. Today the maximum acceptable angular deformity is around 30� in the fifth metacarpal, to only 10�-15� in the second and third metacarpal bones.
There are many types of treatment, reduction, and immobilization for metacarpal fractures. These include the use of casts, splints and mechanical devices to achieve the reduction and immobilization. The most common treatment of metacarpal fractures involves the use of an ulnar gutter plaster splint which immobilizes the wrist and certain fingers, depending upon the location of the metacarpal fracture.
There are a number of deficiencies in the use of such casts and splints in the treatment of fractures, particularly metacarpal fractures of the hand. Conventional casts and splints immobilize the fingers, wrists, and to some extent the forearm, which effectively prevents most use of the hand by the patient. Further, conventional casts and splints not only shield the area of the fracture from visual inspection, but additionally substantially degrades the quality of radiographs for monitoring the healing of the fracture.
Further, such conventional casts and splints are not always effective in applying the appropriate amount of pressure at the appropriate locations for a given fracture, particularly a metacarpal fracture. That is, even assuming that proper reduction can initially be made within acceptable angulation limits, there is risk of shifting and rotation of the fracture outside of acceptable angulation limits, in part due to inappropriate pressure. When coupled with the difficulties in visual and radiographic inspection of the fracture reduction, it is readily apparent that conventional casts and splints are lacking in many respects in the treatment of fractures, particularly metacarpal fractures. Therefore, it would be a significant advance in the art if a method and device were devised that the physician could readily adapt to provide the appropriate pressure to a fracture to achieve the desired reduction and immobilization. Further, a device which was inexpensive, permitted visual inspection, and was radiolucent, would be highly desirable in the treatment of fractures, particularly, hand fractures such as metacarpal fractures.
The problems outlined above are in large measure solved by the brace of the present invention. That is to say, the brace hereof is easily adjustable by the physician to provide the appropriate pressure to a fracture in a desired location to reduce and maintain the reduction and to immobilize the fracture. Further, the brace hereof is inexpensive, easy to use, permits visual inspection of the area surrounding the fracture, and is radiolucent. Finally, the hand brace of the preferred embodiment is particularly effective for treating metacarpal fractures and allows movement of the fingers, wrist and hand while maintaining the desired reduction and immobilization of the metacarpal fracture.
Broadly speaking, the brace of the present invention includes first and second elongated members adapted for positioning on each side of the fracture, and first and second pressure mechanisms operably couplable to the respective members. One of the mechanisms includes at least one pad ("apex pad") while the other pressure mechanism includes at least a pair of spaced apart pads ("base pads"). The brace includes connecting means which operates to draw the members towards each other. Advantageously, an apex pad and two of the base pads are adjustably positioned on the members on each side of the fracture generally in a dihedral orientation, such that drawing the members towards each other applies a three-point pressure effectively reducing and immobilizing the fracture. Although the brace of the present invention is easily adaptable for practically any type of fracture with the attendant advantages as outlined above, it is particularly suited for metacarpal fractures of the hand as illustrated in the non-limiting preferred embodiment described herein.
Preferably, the brace designed for treating metacarpal fractures of the hand includes a U-shaped bracket having an upper member adapted for adjoining the back of the hand, and a lower member adapted for reception in the palm region of the hand. A semi-rigid bight portion connects the distal ends of the generally parallel members, and is adapted for reception in the first web space between the thumb and the index finger. The brace also includes a base pressure mechanism comprising an elongated bar having two spaced apart pads mounted thereon. The bar is adjustably fastenable on the lower member adjoining the palm of the hand in the appropriate region of the fracture. An apex pad is adjustably fastenable on the upper member adjoining the back of the hand.
Depending upon the location and nature of the fracture, the base and apex pads can be positioned by the physician adjacent the desired pressure points. The free ends of the members are joined by an adjustable strap, allowing the physician to adjust the amount of pressure applied by the pads in the region of the fracture. Although the invention contemplates two pressure points on one side of the fracture and a third pressure point on the other side of the fracture with the pads arranged in a dihedral relationship, it will be appreciated that a plurality of pads can be incorporated if desired.
The brace designed for metacarpal fractures of the hand is particularly advantageous in that it is easily adjustable for use with most types of metacarpal fractures. That is, the brace adjusts for use with fractures of the fifth, fourth, third, or second metacarpals. Further, the hand brace can be used with either the left or right hand, and is adjustable to accommodate different hand sizes. Finally, metacarpal fractures occur with varying degrees of obliquity and severity; the adjustable pads allow the physician to easily treat these variations.

Turning now to the drawing, a brace 10 in accordance with the present invention is illustrated as applied to a fifth metacarpal fracture of the left hand. Generally speaking, the brace 10 includes a U-shaped bracket having generally flat, parallel, elongated members 12, 14; pressure mechanisms 16, 18; and connecting means 20 operable for drawing the members 12, 14 towards each other.
Preferably, the members 12, 14 are oriented generally parallel with adjacent ends connected by the bight portion 22. As seen in FIG. 2, the bight portion 22 is arranged to fit comfortably in the first web space between the index finger and thumb of the hand. Alternatively, the brace 10 can be applied with the bight portion 22 adjacent to the ulnar aspect of the hand to provide another method of immobilizing the second or third metacarpal. As shown in the drawing, the upper member 12 is adapted to fit over the back of the hand region, while the lower member 14 (FIG. 1) is received adjacent the palm portion of the hand.
Advantageously, structure is provided for adjustably coupling the pressure mechanisms 16, 18 to the respective members 12, 14 (FIG. 3). To this end, the flat, inboard surfaces of the members 12, 14 present the hook portion 24 of a conventional hook and pile fastening system (such as VELCRO).
In the preferred embodiment shown in the drawing, the pressure mechanism 16 simply incorporates a single apex pad 30 having a pile surface 32 as shown in FIG. 1. Thus, the apex pad 30 is adjustably couplable to the member 12 by the interconnection of the pile surface 32 and complemental hook surface 24. The other surface of the apex pad 30 is obliquely angled as shown in FIG. 4, to comfortably interface with the curved portion of the back of the hand as shown in FIG. 2.
The pressure mechanism 18 includes an elongated, generally flat bar 36 and a pair of spaced-apart base pads 38 as shown in FIG. 3. One side of the bar 36 has a pile surface 40 (FIG. 1) permitting adjustable positioning on the hook surface 24 of the member 14 shown in FIG. 3. The other side of the bar 36, has a hook surface, as at 42, while the respective base pads 38 have complemental pile surfaces (not shown) for adjustably mounting the base pads 38 along the surface 42 (FIG. 3).
The connecting means 20 incorporates a metal D ring 46 connected to the free end of the member 14 as shown in FIG. 3. The upper surface 48 of the member 12 has a complemental hook structure. An elongated strap 50 is secured to the free end of the member 12 (remote from bight 22). Strap 50 includes an in-board pile surface 52 as shown in FIG. 3. The strap 50 is adapted for interfitting through the D ring 46 with adjustable attachment provided between the hook and pile surfaces 48, 52 (compare FIGS. 3, 1).
Although fifth metacarpal fractures are the most commonly occurring, fractures in the second, third, and fourth metacarpals frequently occur as well. Further, many different severities and orientations of the fractures are possible. The brace 10 of the present invention is advantageous in allowing the attending physician to easily adapt the brace 10 to treat the particular bone and type fracture. FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrates the brace 10 when immobilizing a fifth metacarpal fracture. Further, analysis of FIG. 3 reveals that the brace 10 can be utilized with either the left or the right hand.
To apply the brace, the physician interfits the bight portion 22 in the first web space of the hand with the strap 50 unconnected. Depending upon the location and alignment of the break, the physician orientates the pads 30, 38 as desired. That is, pads 38 are adjustably spaced apart on the bar 36 and the bar 36 attached to the member 14 as shown in FIG. 1. The apex pad 30 is positioned on the member 12 adjacent the fracture as shown in FIG. 2. The pads 30, 38 are thus positioned in a generally dihedral relationship, with the pads being generally coplanar while pad 30 is positioned on the other side of the hand, but between the base pads 38.
The strap 50 is interfitted through the D ring 46 and tightened as desired, with the pile surface 52 connected to the upper hook surface 48. It will be appreciated that tightening of the strap 50 draws the members 12, 14 (and the pads 30, 38) towards each other applying a compressing force on the hand in the area of the fracture. The tightening of the strap 50 is adjustable, so that the pressure applied by the pads 30, 38 can be varied as desired. The dihedral relationship yields a three point pressure with the base pads applying a vector force opposed to the vector force of the apex pad.
The tightening of the strap 50 essentially applies a 3 point pressure in the region of the hand at the desired location relative to the fracture. If the pads 30, 38 are properly positioned, tightening of the strap 50 will in most cases provide acceptable reduction of the fracture, and with the strap 50 secured, the fracture is immobilized.
With the brace 10 in its treating configuration as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, many advantages are readily apparent over conventional reduction and immobilization methods. The biomechanical advantage which the brace 10 offers the physician fascilitates the reduction and may decrease the need for, or reduce the dose of patient analgesia during the reduction. Most of the hand is exposed which is advantageous for clinical inspection and cleanliness. Further, brace 10 is of a synthetic resin, radiolucent material which permits easy radiographic monitoring by the physician of the alignment and healing progress of the fracture. Most importantly, with the brace 10 in position, the patient has a relative large freedom of movement of the wrist, hand, and fingers, allowing most normal activities. This has several potential benefits among which are earlier return to the patient's vocation and a quicker resolution of edema.
Although the brace 10 of the preferred embodiment is designed to immobilize metacarpal fractures of the hand, those skilled in the art will appreciate that different embodiments of the present invention can easily be adapted to treat other types of fractures. Further, although only 3 pads are contemplated in the brace 10 of the preferred embodiment, it would of course be possible to incorporate a plurality of pads to accommodate certain types of comninuted or segmental fractures and multiple bone fractures.

WIMBLEDON, England -- Three hours before her first-round match, Venus Williams warmed up on the practice courts at Aorangi Park. While she stretched her impossibly long legs she suddenly was consumed by a series of yawns.
Williams didn't wake up until nearly four hours later.
Down a set, and serving at 0-2, 15-30, Williams somehow rallied to beat hard-hitting Russian teenager Alla Kudryavtseva. Tuesday's score -- 2-6, 6-3, 7-5 -- does not begin to describe the nearly untenable situation Williams created for herself.
Afterward, she was asked if she enjoyed herself.
"I enjoyed the part when I was winning," Williams said.
Which was merely the several minutes it took to serve out the match in the third set.
The Williams sisters always have done things differently. Under the guidance of their father Richard, they eschewed the conventional junior tennis system. They don't always have the best footwork, but they hit the ball a ton. And they certainly do not feel compelled to follow the migratory path to warm-up tournaments when the surface changes.
After the end of the spring clay-court season following Roland Garros, many women traveled to places like Birmingham, England or Hertogenbosch, Netherlands to groove their game on grass. Andy Roddick was so desperate to pick up practice time on grass he played doubles in a Challenger event.
Not the Williams family. They returned home to Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., and arrived here at Wimbledon last Thursday, giving them all of five days of practice on the grassy grounds.
"It rains so much, [Europe's grass] courts are so different," Williams said. "For me, it doesn't seem like an advantage. I suppose the only advantage would be match play. For me, I just rely on my experience and fight.
"I haven't played a match in a few weeks, so I think that could be a factor."
Do you think?
Playing your way into a tournament, as Williams discovered, can be dangerous. Kudryavtseva was born 19 years ago in Russia, but is practically a neighbor, listing her residence in Miami, Fla. She, too, is a fighter. Maybe it's because her father Alexander was a world champion Greco-Roman wrestler in the 1980s. Or perhaps it's because she owns a rottweiler named Ralph.
In any case, Kudryavtseva came out slugging and stunned Williams in the first set, winning six of the first eight games. To put that achievement in context: It was the first time Williams has lost the opening set of a first-round match here in a decade. The only other time was 1997, when a fresh-faced 17-year-old made her debut -- and lost that first-round match.
"I was like, 'OK, what am I doing wrong?'" Williams thought to herself. "The first set went so fast and my balls were just flying out and I didn't have any answers."
Based on career trajectories, it shouldn't have been happening. Williams is a three-time champion here and Kudryavtseva was playing in only her third Grand Slam singles event. Williams has won 34 professional tournaments, while Kudryavtseva has only one; she is the proud titleholder of 2005 International Tennis Federation's tournament in Balaschika, Russia. Her career prize money ($194,672) might not be enough to cover Williams' 2006 phone bill.
Right about the time things looked hopeless -- serving at 0-2 in the second set -- Williams finally found herself. She had been spraying balls through the steady breeze and decided, at the last moment possible, to concede to the conditions.
"I eventually had to take something off the ball," Williams explained. "I just had to add a little more spin, go for consistency."
Williams settled down to win the second set and Kudryavtseva began to unravel. She smashed her racket on the court, she yelled at her coach, she lost her grip. Somehow, she steadied her nerves and held the upper hand for most of the third set. But, serving at 5-all, she grew tentative. Williams spanked an 83 mph second serve and Kudryavtseva could manage only a weak backhand into the net. When her backhand soared over the baseline, Williams finally had a lead.
After she converted her first match point with a huge forehand, her wind-chilled family members -- including Serena, wearing a white hoodie -- appeared relieved.
"The fact that Serena was there, my mom was there, too -- they were like, 'You can do it,'" Williams said. "Just to hang in there and not focus on what went wrong. Just focus on the future. So it was definitely key today."

What The Pope Really Said About Kim Davis
CREDIT: Tony Gentile/Pool Photo via AP
Fresh off his whirlwind tour of the United States, Pope Francis is still making news in America — this time for weighing in on whether government officials have a "human right" to refuse same-sex couples marriage licenses.
According to NBC, a reporter on the pope's flight back to the Vatican Monday night asked him a question that appeared to reference Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk recently jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses for same-sex couples by citing her faith.
"Do you … support those individuals, including government officials, who say they cannot in good conscience … abide by some laws or discharge their duties as government officials, for example when issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples?" a reporter asked.
Francis did not specifically mention Davis in his reply, noting, "I can't have in mind all the cases that can exist about conscientious objection." But he did offer a vigorous defense of conscientious objection as an important part of civil society.
"Yes, I can say that conscientious objection is a right that is a part of every human right. It is a right," he said. "And if a person does not allow others to be a conscientious objector, he denies a right … Conscientious objection must enter into every juridical structure because it is a right, a human right. Otherwise we would end up in a situation where we select what is a right, saying, 'this right that has merit, this one does not.'"
When the reporter, identified as Terry Moran from ABC News, followed up by asking about the specific issue of government officials, Francis replied: "It is a human right and if a government official is a human person, he has that right. It is a human right."
Several media outlets jumped on Francis' comments as tacit support for Davis. But while the pontiff's answer made his support for conscientious objection clear, he was vague on what conscientious objection actually would mean in Davis' situation. For example, Francis did not explain whether he believed an elected government official should be allowed to keep a job while refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
The distinction is crucial to millions of religious Americans such as Mennonites, who are allowed to refuse military service and some taxes but, unlike Davis, willingly accept the consequences of doing so — including passing on certain jobs. Others take financial hits to accommodate their faith: Some pacifist Christians oppose paying federal taxes that support the military, and so intentionally make very little money to avoid paying the IRS.
Francis' comments echoed both the Catholic Church's historic opposition to same-sex relationships and the pope's longstanding support for religious liberty as a fundamental right — a position he mentioned several times during his visit to the United States. The pontiff dedicated an entire speech to the subject over the weekend while visiting Philadelphia, condemning what he saw as infringements on religious liberty.
"[Religious freedom] is a fundamental right which shapes the way we interact socially and personally with our neighbors whose religious views differ from our own," Francis said. "Religious freedom certainly means the right to worship God, individually and in community, as our consciences dictate. But religious liberty, by its nature, transcends places of worship and the private sphere of individuals and families."
In the same speech, however, Francis appeared to call out extremists on both sides of the debate, condemning those who silence religious expression as well as religious people who use their faith to oppress others.
"In a world where various forms of modern tyranny seek to suppress religious freedom, or try to reduce it to a subculture without right to a voice in the public square, or to use religion as a pretext for hatred and brutality, it is imperative that the followers of the various religions join their voices in calling for peace, tolerance and respect for the dignity and rights of others," he said.
The pope's comments on same-sex marriage are also unusual, primarily because he took pains to avoid specifically naming the subject during his U.S. visit. Although he directly addressed issues such as immigration and climate change, he discussed homosexuality only in coded language, speaking generally of "threats" to marriage and unions between a man and a woman. In his 3,404-word address to Congress, he only dedicated 75 words to both abortion and same-sex marriage, while offering lengthy treatments of economics and the death penalty.

I was really impressed with Ragged on my first visit there. I have been to many resorts in New England, large and small, and Ragged really delivered. Their 6-person chairlift gets you to the top really fast. The groomed runs were interesting with many bumps, twists, and little jumps on intermediate/advanced runs, but wide gentle areas on the greens for beginners. The glades were excellent, with glades at the blue, black, and double-black level all being fun and interesting without overly intimidating. The staff were really friendly, and the kind lady working the desk saw me trying to charge my phone in the morning and offered to let me leave it with her behind the desk to charge all day! I noticed that there seemed to be a lot of relatively competent skiiers as well, with most people owning their own equipment.
The only downsides: the mountain is relatively south for New England and doesn't get the temperature benefit that northern mountains get; and there are no super steep double blacks, if that's your jam.
Pleasantly surprised and wholly enjoyed the day! I look forward to going back.

The Argentine winger scored two goals in the quarter-final second-leg win over Levante in midweek and is now targeting progression past the Catalan giants in the next stageValencia attacker Pablo Piatti has admitted that his side will be in for a difficult tie against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi finals but believes that they can emerge victorious.
The Argentine winger scored a brace in the convincing 3-0 win over Levante in the second leg of the quarter-finals to set up the glamour tie against Pep Guardiola's men, a challenge which he feels Los Che have the tools to overcome.
"I have no doubt we can beat Barcelona," the 22-year-old told AS.
"The team is passionate and we are looking forward to it. They will be two very complicated matches and we will need great effort, but we will try to use all our weapons."
Piatti also grabbed one of the goals in the 4-1 first-leg win over Levante, his first for the club, and the South American is looking to continue his progression at the Mestalla.
"I have always said that mentality is a very important factor," the youngster added of his development.
"I have never stopped working and trying, sooner or later results appear, but the three goals were a fluke.
"I still have a lot to prove in Valencia, but I have a lot of confidence. I always talk to [coach Unai] Emery and he has made it clear that he will continue to give me a chance."
Valencia take on Racing Santander in La Liga on Sunday, hoping to close the nine-point gap on Barcelona in second.

In his testimony submitted to the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces Wednesday, Los Alamos National Laboratory director Charlie McMillan covered a lot of ground.
Much of his testimony had to do with the ramifications of NNSA's decision to defer the Chemistry Metallurgy Research Replacement facility for at least five years and the funding issues that seem to be plaguing the lab.
McMillan spent a great deal of time in his testimony, discussing pit reuse.

"You wrote that the New Testament teaches that Christ is superior (and replaces) the Mosaic system of law, priests and the temple. Will that old, limited system be re-instituted sometime in the future?" — Nick
The Mosaic Law is at the core of the history of Israel. It shaped the identity of the nation, forming the basis of its deep religious traditions, politics and ethics.
The sacrificial and priestly system provided a means for expressing repentance, receiving forgiveness and restoring relationships with God and fellow man.
These functions were acknowledged for their importance by Jesus and by first-century Jews who had converted to Christianity (Mt. 5:17-20; 7:12; Gal. 3).
