    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Traumatology
    • Biomechanics

    Context:

    • Scaphoid fractures are common carpal injuries requiring prolonged immobilization.
    • Traditional upper arm casts restrict necessary forearm movements.
    • A novel hinge-type plaster cast offers a solution for controlled immobilization.

    Purpose:

    • To introduce a modified Verdan hinge-type plaster cast for upper arm immobilization.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of this cast in treating scaphoid fractures and other orthopedic conditions.
    • To provide a treatment option that balances immobilization with controlled joint mobility.

    Summary:

    • A modified Verdan hinge-type plaster cast, utilizing Baycast bandage and V2A steel splints, immobilizes the forearm by blocking pronation and supination while allowing flexion and extension.

  • Indications include conservative and postoperative management of scaphoid fractures, forearm shaft insecure osteosynthesis, and postoperative elbow luxation.
  • Successful treatment outcomes have been observed in four patients utilizing this innovative casting technique.

    • Impact:

    • Offers a more functional immobilization method for scaphoid fractures compared to traditional casts.
    • Potentially reduces complications associated with prolonged rigid immobilization.
    • Provides a versatile orthopedic device for various upper limb fracture and dislocation management scenarios.
