Does fracture have to be cast?

Fracture is very common in clinical practice. After fracture, it is not necessary to make plaster treatment. Other methods can also be used for fixation treatment, such as splint, aluminum plate, or brace fixation treatment. Plaster fixation can maintain and ensure the stability of the fracture end. The fixation effect is more accurate, but if it shows complications, it is also more serious. For example, local skin compression will cause damage, blisters, ulcers, and even skin necrosis, severe patients will cause the occurrence of osteofascial compartment syndrome. once osteofascial compartment syndrome occurs, it will show acute renal failure or even amputation risk. Therefore, after plaster fixation, it is necessary to closely observe the limb blood supply after plaster fixation.
