    Study Notes

    Plaster Cast

    • Uneven plaster thickness in a cast is a sign of poor craftsmanship.
    • A poorly made cast shows "onion skinning" and a fuzzy appearance.

    Long Leg Cast

    • Medial and lateral slabs should be placed slightly posterior on the leg.
    • This prevents the slabs from joining at the anterior aspect.
    • Prepare the plaster using standard wetting and laminating techniques.

    Double Spica Cast

    • This cast is used for concomitant pelvic or hip injuries.

    1 1/2 Spica Cast

    • This cast is used for proximal or mid-diaphyseal femoral fractures.
    • This cast is used for older children.

    Single Leg Spica Cast

    • This cast is used for distal femoral fractures.

    Plaster Cast

    • When applying a plaster cast, ensure to laminate (smooth plaster into any remaining air pockets) as you roll each layer.
    • The patient should be supine (laying on their back) with their hand on their forehead and elbow flexed at 90 degrees.
    • When applying a plaster roll to the elbow and arm, do not mold the splint in a way that flexes the wrist past 10-15 degrees to avoid acute carpal tunnel syndrome.
    • A sugar-tong splint is used to allow for freedom of the thenar eminence around the thumb.
    • Before measuring for a sugar-tong splint, it may be beneficial to perform a hematoma block to allow the block to become effective while the splint is being measured.

    Thumb Spica Cast

    • A thumb spica cast is used to treat scaphoid fractures (nonacute).
    • When applying a thumb spica cast, ensure the plaster does not extend beyond the palmar crease.

    Coaptation Splint

    • The splint should go above the arm onto the shoulder

    • When applying the splint instruct the patient to turn their head to the opposite side preventing the neck from pushing down the splint

    Cylinder Cast

    • Wrap the extremity in cast padding

    • Excessive hip flexion and valgus molding can cause femoral and peroneal nerve palsy respectively

    • Skin breakdown and decubitus ulcers can occur

    Arm Sling/Arm Sling and Swath

    • The arm sling is used for a variety of medical conditions
    • Applying a splint:
      • Start at the axilla or at the appropriate starting point based on the fracture site
      • Secure the splint with cast padding at the middle arm
      • Loop the splint around the elbow
      • Position the midpoint of the cast padding roll directly over the elbow flexion crease to minimize skin pressure
      • An assistant should help the patient maintain this position during application to prevent bunching or creasing of the casting material
