Forty-four fractures of the scaphoid bone were treated with a short-arm removable orthoplast cast and compared with 48 fractures treated with a conventional long-arm plaster cast. At the follow-up, there was no difference between the two treatment groups as regards nonunion or other sequelae. We conclude that the inconvenience of the treatment of scaphoid fracture and the need of physiotherapy can be reduced by using an orthoplast cast.Downloads
