The Kenny Howard orthosis is used for subluxations and dislocations of the
AC joint. The orthosis, when applied correctly, provides a downward force
on the clavicle. Ezywrap of DeFuniak Springs, Florida makes it. Go to
www.ezywrap.com I have used the brace three or four times.

It is named after the brother of Ron Howard, the director and former child
star Opie on the Andy Griffith show and of Happy Days. Best friend of
the Fonz.

Kenny, the brother, was on the TV film set one day and fell over a lounge
chair. The resulting injury required a non-surgical treatment due to Kenny's
diabetes. A urologist at the hospital came up with the idea. This same
doctor, years later, came up with Viagra. Just thought you would like to
know.
