Long arm posterior splint

Indications

  1. Elbow and forearm injuries
    1. Distal humerus fx
    2. Both-bone forearm fx
    3. Unstable proximal radius or ulna fx (sugar-tong better)

Doesn’t completely eliminate supination / pronation -either add an anterior splint or use a double sugar-tong if complex or unstable distal forearm fx.
