We found that using this brace (in fractures of the calcaneus), relieve the patient’s pain pre and post operation and make them comfortable. Daily management is easy: early mobility is enhanced, wound care is facilitated. The nursing staff was very satisfied. The Orthoflex variable stiffness inflated brace is better than any previously used temporary support for these fractures and the patient can be discharged non-weight bearing using the same brace for support.
