Compartment syndrome is a highly dreadful complication, which may occur from 1-3 days after application of a thumb spica cast. It occurs due to inability of the thumb spica cast to accommodate the hand swelling. The pressure of the swelling on the blood vessels and nerves cuts down the blood supply and sensations of the hand. Prompt removal of the cast is necessary to prevent permanent damage to the hand. Hence, a thumb spica cast should not cover the tip of the thumb, which can be observed for checking the integrity of the blood flow to the thumb.
