  4. 4th Metacarpal Fracture. Placed inspite?

4th Metacarpal Fracture

2017-11-01 08:04:49
I had displaced neck metacarpal fracture (4th) in right hand little finger, 5 days back. I consulted a doctor and he has applied a POP cast temporarily which is due to be removed tomorrow. Thereafter he suggested to put Synthetic permanent cast for 5-6 weeks. Is it possible to have Removable cast or splint instead of fixed cast, this is due to my nature of job which requires signing and writing emails etc. It would be great if a crape bandage or any kind of light wrap can be placed inspite?
