Abstract
A simple and efficient method of achieving and maintaining reduction of a boxer's fracture (neck of the fifth metacarpal) is described. This method can be implemented during drying of the plaster splint, and adequate roentgenograms can be taken without the presence of redundant plaster over the fracture site found with the traditional ulnar gutter splint.
