The Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2011 McBride et al describe an innovative method that simplifies plaster immobilisation of the thumb but could be improved by limiting the distal extent of the dressings to allow unrestrained mobilisation of the finger metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints. Although the plaster component of the dressing appears to stop at the MCP joint crease of the index and ...
