The invention relates to an arm elevation support device comprising a generally monolithic humerus support, a contoured well shoulder anchor, and a radius and ulna support. The monolithic humerus support is operable to abut against a patient\s side and underlies the humeral portion of a patient\s arm. The contoured well shoulder anchor includes a contoured sleeve portion operable to be worn around the acromial portion of a patient\s well arm and two straps which releasably connect the well shoulder anchor to the monolithic humerus support. The radius and ulna support connects to the monolithic structure and provides support for a patient\s forearm and hand.

An arm elevation support device for recuperative support following rotator cuff surgery, humeral head or shaft fracture correction, or the like comprising: a generally monolithic humerus support having, a first proximal surface operable to abut against a patient\s side, a second surface operable for underlying and supporting the humeral portion of a patient\s recuperative arm, and a third distal surface substantially parallel in operation to said first proximal surface and extending at approximately a forty-five degree angle with respect to said second surface; a contoured well shoulder anchor having, a contoured sleeve portion operable to be worn around the acromial region of a patient\s well arm and shoulder and extend in supporting contact about the deltoideus and deltoid regions of a patient\s well arm and shoulder, a first step connected to an anterior segment of said contoured well shoulder anchor, and extending across a patient\s upper torso and being releasably connected to an anterior portion of said monolithic humerus support, and a second trap connected to a posterior segment of said contoured well shoulder anchor and extending across a back portion of a patient\s torso and being releasably connected to a posterior portion of said monolithic humerus support wherein the shoulder region of a patient\s opposing well arm operably provides support for said generally monolithic humerous support positioned on an opposite side of a patient\s body for underlying and supporting the patient\s recuperative arm; and a radius and ulna support releasably connected to said third distal surface of said monolithic humerus support for recuperatively supporting a hand and foreman of a patient.
