An orthopedic bandage (1) for the treatment of trauma to the Achilles tendon comprising a support for the lower leg, a walking support comprising a sole (4) and a support device (5) configured for securing the sole relative to the lower leg portion in such a manner that the patient's foot is elevated above the walking surface, a foot support (16), a hinge (19) that secures the foot support relative to the walking support which is pivotal about an axis that coincides with the axis of the ankle joint, a means for limiting the pivoting movement of the foot support relative to the walking support to a predetermined range, and a releasable locking means (21) which may be activated to prevent pivoting of the foot support. Use of this bandage allows the patient to choose between a fixed position for his foot in order for him to be able to walk without straining his Achilles tendon, and a movable foot position for rehabilitation as needed.
