Spica casts may be applied to the hip, shoulder, or thumb joints. The word "spica" refers to a figure-eight or spiral, having turns that cross one another. With a spica cast, the casted appendage is immobilized to the main part of the body or extremity. To immobilize the affected joint, the bandages are applied in a spiral manner, e.g., around the thumb and the hand or an extremity and the trunk. 2, record 3, English, - spica%20cast
