TKO Knuckle Orthosis Hand & Wrist Braces

The TKO Knuckle Orthosis is a purpose-built hand and wrist brace designed to immobilize and protect the metacarpal (knuckle) region after fractures, sprains, or surgical repair. Unlike a generic wrist splint, the TKO focuses support where boxer's fractures and other metacarpal injuries occur, holding the hand in a functional position while healing takes place. This collection carries hand-specific and size-specific versions so you can match the brace to the injured hand and the patient's build.

Because the TKO is contoured for a particular side, ordering matters: the 3848-RT-XL fits the right hand in an X-Large, while the 3848-LT-XS fits the left hand in an X-Small. Choosing the correct hand and size ensures the knuckle support and wrist stabilization sit properly against the anatomy rather than shifting or crowding the fingers. When you're between sizes, measure around the palm at the knuckles (excluding the thumb) and follow the manufacturer's chart, since a snug but non-constricting fit is what delivers the immobilization the injury needs.

Clinicians and patients typically reach for the TKO when they need firmer control than an elastic wrap provides but want to preserve some finger function during recovery. The black low-profile design is discreet, and the closures allow adjustment as swelling changes over the course of healing. It's a common recommendation following boxer's fractures, metacarpal contusions, and post-operative protection where the knuckle line must be guarded from impact.
