Description

The original caption may contain language which is historic and which may no longer be considered appropriate. It has been retained in the record in the interest of historical accuracy.

The caption on the reverse of the photograph reads: “Orthopaedic technique (Picture taken at Victoria Infirmary, Glasgow) Picture shows a spinal support in position.”

The ‘cock-up splint’ is a device for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, which results from compression of the median nerve in the wrist. See also MED01/01/2414-2424 and MED01/01/2426-2427.
