Abstract: The disclosure is of an orthopedic appliance designed to facilitate the reduction of anterior dislocation of person's shoulder by utilizing the principle of a third class lever. After the elbow is immobilized against chest wall with a chest belt, the reduction is achieved by inflating a pouch tightly secured with straps under the involved axilla. Once the reduction is accomplished, immobilization of the injured shoulder is provided by transforming the chest belt into a waist belt to which an elbow cuff and a sling are anchored. This injury-specific immobilization provides for limited mobility and usage of the forearm, wrist, and hand.
