Applying a short arm cast

Panel A: The casting position is maintained and the stockinette (optional) is applied.
Panels B and C: Cast padding (Webril) is wrapped distal to proximal, overlapping by half each turn.
Panel D: Fiberglass or plaster rolls are similarly wrapped distal to proximal.
Panel E: The fiberglass or plaster is smoothed using the palms and thenar eminences (not the fingers).
Panels F and G: The ends of the stockinette are folded over to provide smooth ends for the cast.
Panel H: Positioning of the extremity is maintained until the cast is hardened.
