CASTI�G A�D FRACTURE BRACI�G BY
Augusto Sarmiento, M.D. & Loren Latta, PhD
Dr. Sarmiento & Latta’s new 100 page fracture casting and bracing
manual and three companion DVD’s will take you through the steps of conser-
vative fracture treatment and the application of casts and braces. Included
with the manual is a 100 question exam approved for continuing education
hours.
Figure 2.6.
If the pa-
tient leans
on the
elbow it
can cause a
varus
angulation
to occur.
Whenever possible, the cast should be
removed with the patient sitting on a high table.
The brace is applied in the same position. After
cleansing the arm a layer of stockinet is carefully
rolled over the extremity, extending from just
below the elbow to the level of the acromium
process. The appropriate size of the brace is se-
lected by measuring the length of the upper arm
from approximately one inch below the axilla to
just above the lateral condyle of the humerus.
The brace is applied over a layer of
stockinet. The brace should not press superiorly
against the axilla because it will produce discom-
fort and sufficient pressure to lacerate the skin
and forces the proximal humerus into an abducted
position. A varus angular deformity then occurs.
The collar and cuff is applied holding the elbow
at 90 degrees. Exercises, similar to those carried
out during the cast immobilization period should
continue (Figure 2.5)……………..

insertion of the elbow flexors. At the time of the fracture the muscle fibers coil as the bony
fragments rotate. Their subsequent contraction uncoils the muscle, correcting the rotary
bony deformity.
