What Is a Posterior Elbow Long Arm Splint?

The posterior elbow long arm splint — sometimes called a posterior plaster splint, long arm plaster splint, or plaster elbow immobilizer in older clinical terminology — runs along the back (posterior) side of the arm from the upper arm, past the elbow, down the forearm to the wrist and hand. This design immobilizes the elbow joint in a stable position while preventing flexion and extension movements that could disrupt healing.

Historically, these splints were made from plaster of Paris — hence the common search terms posterior plaster splint and long arm plaster cast. Modern clinical practice has shifted to fiberglass, which sets faster, weighs significantly less, and is far more durable than traditional plaster splints, while providing the same quality of immobilization.

Note: Some technicians use padding with their long arm elbow splints, and some do not, as you will see in these videos.

Why Buy Direct Instead of at Your Doctor's Office?

Purchasing your elbow splint kit directly from OrthoTape offers significant advantages over getting it at your doctor's office or emergency room.

Our splint materials are the same professional-grade products — if not better — than what your doctor or ER uses, meeting or exceeding all industry standards.
