Abstract: A molding cast system for fractures of the humerus and of the radius and ulna that includes a molding cast having a wall member forming a substantially horizontal chamber for holding the forearm and a substantially vertical chamber for holding the upper arm, with an elongated aperture along the top of the horizontal chamber and an elongated aperture along the front of the vertical chamber. Connectors having fasteners hold the edges of the wall member defining the apertures together. A neck sling is affixed to the wall member. The wall member has an outer layer of soft flannel; a middle layer of a laminated plaster of paris casting material; and an inner layer of a flexible porous material next to the skin. The molding cast is prefabricated and can be shipped in a rolled condition to a hospital or doctor's office where it can be treated to be made pliable for specific application to a patient.
