How To Apply a Posterior Ankle Splint
Introduction
Ankle splints are rigid devices fastened to the ankle and used to maintain stability of the ankle joint. Ankle splints are typically used for injuries that benefit from immobilization but do not require casting. Commercial immobilizer boots are an alternative where available. Unlike boots, most posterior ankle splints are not designed to bear weight or be removed and replaced (eg, for bathing).
