Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of plastering and casting and when is it used?

Plastering and casting are used to immobilise injured bones or tissues, allowing them to heal properly. This method is commonly applied for fractures, severe sprains or post-surgery recovery. By stabilising the affected area, casting aims to prevent further injury, helping to ensure controlled healing and minimising the risk of complications during the recovery process.
How is a cast applied and is the process painful?

A cast is applied after a thorough evaluation. First, soft padding is used for comfort, followed by the molding of plaster or fiberglass for support. The process is generally not painful, though some pressure may be felt. Generally, professionals aim to ensure that the cast is fitted comfortably and securely to provide the necessary support for healing.
How should I care for my cast at home?

Proper cast care is crucial for recovery. Keep your cast dry and avoid putting pressure on it unless advised otherwise. If you experience swelling, pain or discomfort, contact your healthcare provider. Patients are typically provides with detailed instructions on managing their cast at home, helping to maintain comfort and promote effective healing.
How long will I need to wear a cast and what happens after it’s removed?

The duration for wearing a cast depends on your injury, typically ranging from several weeks to a few months. After cast removal, rehabilitation exercises or physiotherapy may be recommended to restore strength and mobility to the affected area. Most healthcare providers will guide you through post-cast recovery to help ensure optimal healing and function.
