I had a cast like this for a fractured scaphoid, for some reason though, I only had it on for about 10 days. Before that I had a slapback cast for 10 days also. Not sure why it wasn’t for the full 6 weeks….i also have NF1 so my bones are softer and prone to breaking more easily. The consultant told me I didn’t need it for the full 6 weeks and never explained why. I’d have preferred it for the 6 weeks as now my wrist hurts every so often and I am hoping that it is healed as another downside of NF1 is that bones take longer to heal. I did tell all this to the consultant but they didn’t know much about NF1 so didn’t seem to be interested in what I was saying. My follow up CT scan also got cancelled because of the pandemic. This all happened in early 2020. I live in the UK/ England and the NHS is not as great as it’s made out to be. This is probably why my treatment was rushed. The guys in this video seem to take care and sound more professional than the doctors we have here too.

Is it up to the doctor whether the distal IP joint of the thumb is immobilized?
Yes, typically the physicians I worked with would state whether or not to include the IP joint or leave it free.
What is the name of the instrument with which you open Casts after Cutting?Can you Share it's Picture?
Cast spreader. If you Google search a cast spreader you will see what it looks like and the options available.
