Splint Workshop 2 - Thumb spica splint: Dr Daniel Worman, Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin, demonstrates application of the Thumb Spica Splint.
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, Tom Byrne
@@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
