An adjustable brace includes a support surface for supporting one surface of a patient and an adjustable portion that allow the cross section of the brace to be adjusted. When a limb is injured, a patient may have a swollen limb and the adjustable brace can be set to a large cross section. As the limb heals, the swelling decreases and the limb cross section also decreases due to atrophy. An adjustable coupling can be used reduce the cross section to properly fit the limb of the patient during the healing process.
