If your injured area is very swollen, you may need a splint until the swelling goes down. You may still need a cast after the swelling goes down. Also, if your injury is swollen, both splints and casts may need to be adjusted in the first few days.
The post below reminded me of a fascinating story about the Twenty-Seventh Amendment, which was first proposed together with the Bill of Rights but wasnât ratified until 200 years later.
Unlike most of the provisions of the Bill of Rights, the Seventh Amendment has never been applied to the states. The Supreme Court stated in Walker v. Sauvinet (1875), Minneapolis & St. Louis Railroad v. Bombolis (1916) and Hardware Dealers' Mut. Fire Ins.t cannot be necessary for me to expound the grounds of this opinion, because they must be obvious to every person acquainted with the history of the law. The Seventh Amendment (Amendment VII) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights.
