The Difference Between Bandage and Splint
Bandage was only on for about seven days, whereas the splints were on for about 18 days. 11 % of the bandage griup had to come back to ask for their bandage to be reapplied or changed to splint genuinely. Only ten per cent of the bandages still wore at three weeks compared to 37 per cent in the splint group. The study shows that we don't get it right all the time with fracture diagnosis and discenters. If you treat something like it's a fracture and it's not, no one's going to complain. And i think i've probably placed my last splint for taurus fractures.
