Video Summary
The video provides a step-by-step guide on how to apply a short arm cast. It begins by placing a stockinette on the arm, cutting a thumb hole if needed, and adding padding from the wrist to the elbow. The fiberglass is then wrapped, starting at the wrist, and can be folded or twisted around the hand. The wrapping continues to the elbow, leaving some space for bumpers. The stockinette and padding are folded down and the cast is molded while it hardens. A colored roll is then wrapped in a similar fashion to the fiberglass. To remove the cast, mark and cut along the top and bottom lines.
