These videos are awesome. I’m a new Orthotech and learning new ways to do the more challenging casts has made things a lot easier. Thank you for the cool new tips!
A typical Radial Gutter cast (like this one) will include the 2nd (index) and 3rd (middle) digits. This could mean a number of different injuries: Broken metacarpal, phalanx or even a flexor tendon injury. For this video - we could say that the patient has a distal 2nd metacarpal fracture :)
Thanks for the reply. We use a piece of splint material to reinforce the cast so we don’t have to use as much cast material. If you watch @ 3:04 we talk about putting padding between the digits to help with maceration.

Next do a bolster cast please.
This is dorsal splint. There is many easier techniques for this splint model. With this technique maseration between II and III fingers is certain.

@@mcsmedcastspecialists1285 why not to use stockinettes on both fingers? That is much safer.
