1. It was something for the wrist, used for times of discomfort.
2. He tore a 1.5 cm ligament in his HAND, not wrist.
3. It was acute, so it was not weakened.

Christ, I'm not a doctor, but I have a VERY good head for medical crap, have been certified in first aid for over 5 years (knew about all this before then, though) and legitimately saved my best man's index finger from becoming gangrenous, 12 years ago: that thing was absolutely NOT a brace and something like that would absolutely NOT stabilize or strengthen a 1.5 cm ligament in the hand.

So, who needs to use their brain?
