[@flextruck430]

Is this thumb fracture or wrist fracture

[@ferasaljohani4357]

Thanks for the video.
Just have one question, why no gloves?

[@althron4249]

There isnt any area of infection or wound where gloves would be necessary

[@EOHCP]

Good

[@thomasbyrne7770]

The position of the thumb is totally dependent on the injury your splinting...
neutral (position of function) for scaphoid, extended and abducted for Gamekeepers,
Adducted and flexed for Dequervains.... THERE IS NO DEFFAULT POSITION OF THE
THUMB! You must know what you are treating as well as how to splint,

Forgot to put the stockinget on underneath ....

Stockinett is for casting. This is a splint

[@shain126]

@@djhugo8062 actually you can also use the stockinette under when doing splints as well to prevent skin abrasion, itchiness or burning remember the fiver glass also tents to hardened and get hot while using it as splint

[@gracequinlan3090]

Stockinette is applied when swelling is unlikely. If there is swelling no stockinette is required.

[@carol-annemartinalolafrase8473]

i had one a year ago but they didn't put any padding before putting the plaster it was not comfortable at all then they just wrapped it with two things and gave me one to take home all be going in again swelling in wrist hand and thumb painful i even have issues getting comfy in bed or when I'm just sitting I'm annoyed with the pain pain in my wrist and thumb and snuffbox

[@bluv1602]

All that thickness and bulk in thumb. Why not just put a full fiberglass cast with less mess and better ease?

[@missbill100]

This is an old video

You have to account for any possible swelling. If you cast it, swelling may occur which may cause compression or compartment syndrome.
