splint coverage
 
Had a friend call and ask me about his son's healing wrist fracture...don't have my books here at work, and I want to be sure I steered him in the right direction. His son has a healing wrist fracture, and has been cleared to play and given a note from his doctor...as long as his splint is covered by padding, he's good to go, right? Many thanks!!!
