Abstract
Three hundred patients with fractures of the hallux were randomly treated with either
a short plantar splint or spica strapping in a prospective crossover trial. The results
showed that more patients preferred the splint and the mean pain score was lower in
the group treated with a splint (P < 0.001). It is concluded that the splint is a cheap and effective method of treatment
of fractures of the hallux.
