ActivArmor Saves Soccer Player’s Season

When it all comes down to it, athletes want to play. So, the best sports medicine providers know when to utilize modern medical devices like ActivArmor to make that happen.

12-year-old soccer player, Claire wanted to get back on the field after fracturing her radial head. Fortunately, her doctor prescribed her a 3D printed ActivArmor cast that is approved by professional athletics associations.

Read about Claire and her mom Sara Huntzinger’s experience with ActivArmor:

“This is my daughter Claire. She is an extremely social and active 12-year-old. After an incredibly disappointing start to 2020 (with COVID-19 cancelling school, her birthday party, Spring Break, the travel soccer season and limiting the amount of time she got to spend with friends), Claire was extremely excited to get back outside with her teammates and begin their travel soccer routine this fall. However, early in the season she suffered a radial head fracture and believed that her fall soccer season would also be taken from her due to her injury. After consulting with Dr. Kile Carter of Central Indiana Orthopedics, Dr. Carter and his team fitted Claire with an ActivArmor device so that she could return to the field quickly and get back to doing what she loves. She was able to return to soccer training and weekend tournaments quickly. Our family is thankful that ActivArmor gave something back to her in 2020!”

As Claire’s fracture heals, her long-arm cast will be able to transition into a short-arm cast and then into a removable wrist splint when the time is right. This adaptability throughout the healing phases will save Claire’s family both time and money.

If you’re dedicated to your sport, be like Claire and continue your active lifestyle while healing with your own ActivArmor immobilization device.
