Casts, Splints, and Support Bandages
Klaus Dresing | Peter Trafton
Casts, Splints, and Support Bandages—Nonoperative Treatment and Perioperative Protection provides an extensive overview of the history, principles, methods, and techniques for applying a modern plaster or synthetic cast.
As part of this publication, 55 individual cast, splint, orthosis, and bandaging technique demonstrations are provided on high quality online video, and these can be viewed below. Also below are the two additional documents available for download, including the Cast Cost Calculation spreadsheet (to estimate your own casts/splints) and the Casts and Splints—Instructions for Patients leaflet (for distribution to patients receiving cast treatment).
