Rugby Player / Turf Toe / X1 Blade

Question for Clyde: Hi . My brother got turf toe about 4 years ago and he bought an X1 Blade for his rugby boot while he recouped from the injury. I want to get a similar product, and i hope you still have them, It is my right foot, and i jammed the entire foor head on, but the brunt of the injury centered around the big toe, therefore acting much like a turf toe injury. I want to start playing again so do you have a product , i am a 12 US, i want to make sure that it will fit in my boots and that i can still get my foot in okay? if all is good then i need to buy it , how do i go about doing that? luc pearson

Clyde's Answer: Go to my website www.indianabrace.com -  click Clyde's X1 Blade by injury on the home page (upper left hand side) - get the Pro turf toe model. Or just click on this link.

Mid-Foot Sprain X1 Blade - Harvard Football

ASK CLYDE: Hi Clyde, I ordered a blade insert for my son 1.5 years ago when he had a Jones fracture on his left foot during senior season of high school. The product worked well. He is now a 6'5" 285lb left XXXXXX for Harvard and just yesterday was diagnosed with an early stress fracture in his right foot. It is not as high up the foot as a Jones fracture. It's more towards the mid foot. Should be fine in 3-4 weeks wearing a boot but I want to make sure he gets a little support in the cleat when he's ready to come back. Can you advise which model he should be using?? Regards, Tony F. 617-XXX-XXXX.

ANSWER:   Dear Tony .........For healing mid-foot stress fracture injuries I suggest my medium density shoe stiffner to play in. .........Wow - playing at Harvard - please say hi to your son for me. Clyde.

X1 Blade for 5th Metatarsal Fx - Offensive Lineman

   I received a call this morning from an orthopaedic surgeons physicians assistant from Central Indiana Orthopaedic (CIO) in Muncie. The call concerned a Ball state offensive lineman who had sustained a 5th metatarsal fracture (Jones fracture) during the early summer.
  The PA explained that the player had had the fracture pinned by a orthopaedic surgeon from his home town, but the fixation had failed, but the fracture was healing and his orthopaedic surgeon didn't want to repin it.
   He said, "we understand that you make a special insert that will unload and protect the players fracture site during practice and during games while the fracture  heals."
   I said that I did, and that it was my X1 Blade for 5th metatarsal fractures.
   He asked me if I would contact the players athletic trainer at Ball State and arrange to get an X1 Blade for the player's healing 5th metatarsal fracture. I said that I would.
  I contacted the Ball State head athletic trainer. The athletic trainer went to my website www.indianabrace.com and clicked on Clyde's X1 Blades by Injury  that led him to the 5th metatarsal fracture while we spoke. After he familiarized himself with my X1 Blade for 5th metatarsal fracture he ordered the Blade for his player.
  I shipped a size 14 X1 Blade for 5th metatarsal fractures (Jones fx).

It has a offset area under the great toe for unloading and pressure relief and a reinforement blade for stability. It is made of composite materials so is  ery thin (.040") and light (.070 oz.) and can be transferred easily from shoe to shoe. It is an excellent answer to relieve the pain caused by a fractured sesamoid.
