This rigid splint proximal portion (16) is an essentially non-elastic, deformable tubular portion, made 15 by: placing the orthosis onto a template representative of the morphology of the patients calf applying in situ on the orthosis, in the region of the splint proximal portion, a hardenable biocompatible resin hardening the resin with the orthosis maintained on the template and 20 removing the orthosis in its finished state.
