Abstract:
A properly applied above-elbow cast in a child presents difficulties not seen in adults. Because of the differences in anatomy, physiology, and compliance, children can benefit from modification of the standard above-elbow cast. We report on a method of application of the "flatback" cast to address these concerns.
