The so-called aeroplane splint has been found of value in the treatment of certain fractures involving the humerus near the shoulder, such as unimpacted fracture of the anatomic and surgical neck of the humerus, fracture dislocation at the anatomic or surgical neck of the humerus, and fracture of the greater tuberosity of the humerus. There are various models and variations of the aeroplane splint, but all of them, so far as we know, have the same, and a serious objectionable feature, that is, difficulty in adjusting, and a more marked difficulty in maintaining adjustment. External splinting has been acknowledged for many years as a useful approach for preventing and correcting burn contractures. Though this practice could be traced back many centuries, there is still a dearth of knowledge regarding a good splint to serve these purposes for axillary burns. The newly designed multi-purpose, self-adjustable aeroplane splint presented in this report helps in various ways, such as improving compliance, and positioning during preoperative, postoperative and rehabilitative phases of axillary burn management. It acts as a splint that provides circumferential pressure for scar management, provides prolonged stretch to contracted tissue and acts as a serial cast in increasing the shoulder range. Most of all, it is very much used-friendly, thus enhancing compliance and giving a good outcome in auxillary burns.
