A Munster cast is a special cast that immobilizes the arm, hand, and sometimes the thumb but extends up past the elbow laterally and posteriorly, leaving the antecubital space free to allow partial flexion of the elbow. The extension laterally and posteriorly to the elbow prohibits supination and pronation. This cast is often used when the patient has a fracture of the scaphoid bone in the wrist.
