Forearm fracture support suggestions

[maxwell88]

Hi all,

I’ve fractured my right radius on 2 occasions over the last 3 years, both rugby injures. Using a pretty flimsy support (one of those neoprene forearm braces) after the first break didn’t help at all really so I just wanted to ask if anyone knew or had any suggestions for a better support?

I’ve heard of using a hockey shinpad foam wrapping, also of some gel like substance used in France which solidifies after it’s been rubbed on (?).

I’ve seen rugby players with some support braces (eg. Corey Flynn and Victor Matfield) and wondered if anyone would know first hand what they might use?

Any help appreciated, thanks.
