What is the correct position of the hand & wrist for casting of a trapezoid fracture/break? natural, straight, relaxed position?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neutral: I would place a patient in a short arm cast with the wrist in neutral or slight extension. This is a very rare fracture. If I can be of help, join my care team at www.healthtap.com/dr-clarkeholmes
