[0002] Mallet finger is a condition caused by rupture or avulsion of the extensor digitorum tendon from the dorsal aspect of the distal phalanx to the insertion of the central tendon.

[0003] During the treatment of hammer finger, a brace is also needed for correction. However, the existing brace is not firm, which can easily cause displacement of fracture fragments or tendon avulsion sites, thereby affecting the treatment effect. The unstable fixation environment may lead to slower fracture healing or poor tendon repair, thereby prolonging the recovery time. Therefore, we propose a new type of orthopedic brace for hammer finger. Utility Model Content

[0007] Furthermore, the position and size of the Velcro A match the position and size of the Velcro B.

[0008] Furthermore, the hook and loop tape A and the hook and loop tape B are bonded together.

[0009] Furthermore, the surfaces of the low-temperature thermoplastic plate and the orthopedic plate are both provided with air holes in an array.

[0010] Furthermore, a pressure sensor is embedded in the bottom surface of the orthopedic plate, and a display is connected to the surface of the low-temperature thermoplastic plate close to the first connecting belt and the second connecting belt.

[0011] Furthermore, the pressure sensor and the display are electrically connected.

[0012] Furthermore, the size of the orthopedic plate matches the size of the mallet finger.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are:

[0014] 1. In the present invention, the hammer finger can be firmly fixed by the cooperation of the low-temperature thermoplastic plate and the orthotic plate, and the provided Velcro A and Velcro B can be easily fixed for patients with different palm sizes, avoiding the problem that the existing brace is not firmly fixed, the tendon avulsion site is easily displaced, and thus affecting the treatment effect, thereby shortening the recovery time of the hammer finger.

[0015] 2. In the present invention, the pressure sensor can monitor the pressure strength of the hammer finger in real time to ensure that the finger is corrected under appropriate pressure to avoid excessive or insufficient pressure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
