Claim:
1. A method for tailoring an orthosis for medical compression/splinting of a lower limb to a measure of a patient's leg, said method comprising the steps of: obtaining an orthosis ( obtaining a hardenable biocompatible resin; placing the orthosis onto the patient's leg or a template representative of a morphology of the patient's calf; applying in situ on the orthosis over a whole circumference of a region of the splint proximal portion, said hardenable biocompatible resin; hardening the resin with the orthosis maintained on the patient's leg or the template; and removing the orthosis in a finished state, wherein the orthosis in the finished state is such that the splint proximal portion ( 16 ) is made rigid following the hardening of the resin and keeps corresponding dimensions of the patient's calf, which allows this splint proximal portion to perfectly fit a shape of the calf, while the compressive distal portion is still elastic to provide a therapeutic-level compression.
