A customized design method of elbow joint brace comprises the following steps: customizing elbow joint brace: obtaining a forearm brace model and a forearm brace model of a patient's injured arm through three-dimensional reconstruction based on a CT image of the patient's uninjured arm; elbow joint brace hinge design: based on the three-dimensional space determined by ulna, humerus and radius andthe arm brace model and arm brace model correspond to the three-dimensional space, a hinge for bridging the arm brace model and the arm brace model is designed, and the central axis position and included angle of the hinge are determined by ulna, humerus and radius; guiding the design of elbow brace: combined with the anatomical characteristic points of the distal wrist joint and the proximal elbow joint, the axial and circumferential positioning model of the elbow brace is designed, so that the axis of rotation of the hinge coincides with the real axis of motion of the elbow joint after the elbow brace is worn.
