A finger ring splint for preventing hyperextension of a finger joint includes a generally circular portion which is secured about the finger adjacent to the joint and disposed between the joint and the hand. A second elliptical ring portion is secured about the same finger forwardly of the same joint. The circular ring portion is disposed in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the finger, while the elliptical portion is disposed in a plane which is oblique with respect to the axis of the finger. Both ring portions are joined together at an apex which is adjacent to the palm of the hand. The ring structure does not interfere with normal flexure of the joint, but prevents hyperextension of the joint.
