Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of plaster care in fracture treatment?

Plaster care is essential for stabilising a fractured bone, allowing it to heal properly by immobilising the injured area. The plaster or cast provides support, reduces movement and protects the bone from further injury. This helps to ensure the fracture heals in the correct position, minimising complications and promoting a more effective recovery process.
How should I care for my plaster cast at home?

Taking proper care of your plaster cast is important for a smooth recovery. Keep the cast dry and avoid applying pressure to it. If the cast gets wet or if you experience swelling, pain or numbness, contact your healthcare provider immediately. It's important to follow the care instructions given to help ensure the cast stays in good condition and supports healing effectively.
How long do I need to wear a plaster cast for a fracture?

The duration of wearing a plaster cast depends on the type and severity of the fracture. Generally, a cast is worn for 4-8 weeks, but this can vary based on the individual’s healing process and the specific bone affected. Your doctor or physiotherapist will regularly monitor your progress to determine when it’s safe to remove the cast.
What happens after the plaster cast is removed?

Once your plaster cast is removed, the rehabilitation process begins. You may experience stiffness, weakness or limited movement in the affected area. Physiotherapy is often recommended to help restore strength, flexibility and mobility. Exercise can help you regain function and ensure the joint or bone heals fully. Your physiotherapist can guide you through a tailored rehabilitation program for recovery.
