Used for comminuted humeral fracture, distal humeral shaft fracture. · Cast must be lightweight and must extend from at least 1 inch proximal to the fracture site to wrist, with elbow at right angle & forearm in neutral rotation. · Arm must lie dependent to provide a traction force. · Patient must sleep erect or semi-erect to avoid supporting elbow when seated. · Erect position is maintained during the day as much as possible. · There should be no support under the elbow, and nothing should compress the arm against the body (such as clothing).

Sternal-Occipital-Mandibular Immobiliser (SOMI) Brace Cervico-Thoracic Orthoses (CTOs) provide greater motion restriction from C5-C7 spine from the increased leverage on the person’s body. The upper cervical spine has less motion restriction. CTOs are used in minimally unstable fractures . All CTO’s tend to control flexion better than extension . Parts 1. The SOMI is a rigid, 3-poster CTO that has an padded anterior chest plate extending to the xiphoid process, as well as two padded shoulder extension which hook over tops of the shoulder. 2. From these shoulder extension two Straps which cross in the interscapular region, pass downward and around the chest wall to attach to the lower part of the chest plate. 3.
