First it must : Not be too tight and be in the proper position therefore it is often easier to make a splint for finger . But there are certain circumstances we're having a cast is a worthwhile thing because it makes the need for changing the splint less frequent especially conditions with the hand being wet or being a condition where it's inconvenient to maintain the splint . But the risk of making the cast too tight and hard to take off is great so i feel that cast for a finger should only put on by a qualified physician or therapist so i can tell you how to do it but actually i really don't want to.
