Perhaps You Need A Radial Gutter Thumb Spica?
Thursday, June 26th, 2008Why are you just sitting there dealing with so much pain in your wrist? You know that you've injured it, and the pain just has not just disappeared, which is an indication that it's worse than just a simple sprain. There are several simple things that the doctor can do, such as applying a thumb splint or a thumb spica. But if it's bad enough, he may want to immobilize the entire radial side of the arm, which includes not just the wrist, but the thumb, fore finger and middle finger as well. This is done using a radial gutter thumb spica that will keep things stable throughout the recovery.
