Plaster Operation

Plaster Casting & Immobilization – Plaster Operation

A plaster operation, commonly known as plaster casting, is a non-surgical orthopaedic procedure used to immobilize broken or injured bones and joints so they can heal properly. Plaster casts are commonly used for fractures, ligament injuries, and post-surgical support.

Proper plaster application plays a vital role in correct bone alignment and faster recovery.

At Himaya Multispeciality Hospital, our Orthopaedic Department provides safe and precise plaster application under expert supervision, ensuring patient comfort and effective healing.

What Is Plaster Operation?

Plaster operation involves applying a firm plaster or fiberglass cast around the injured area to restrict movement and keep the bone or joint in the correct position. This helps reduce pain, prevent further injury, and promote natural healing.

The duration of plaster depends on the type and severity of the injury.

Treatment Process

The orthopaedic doctor examines pain, swelling, deformity, and injury history.

Plaster is applied carefully by trained staff, ensuring proper alignment, comfort, and circulation.

Clinical Evaluation & Diagnosis

X-ray or other imaging tests are performed to confirm the fracture or injury.

Post-Plaster Care

Plaster Planning

The doctor decides the type of plaster, duration, and precautions based on the injury.

Follow-Up & Removal

Regular follow-ups are scheduled, and plaster is removed once healing is confirmed.
