Immobilization Using Plaster Cast

Editors Nyska and Mann present the latest knowledge on ankle instability with emphasis on conservative treatment and preventive measures. [books.google.com]

However, patients presenting with pyogenic granuloma of the proximal nail fold with associated onychomadesis should be asked about preceding plaster cast immobilization and examined for nerve injury. [ijdvl.com]

Case presentation The cast was removed from the leg of a 45-year-old Caucasian woman. Significant muscle atrophy and dense skin scales were present but the underlying skin surface was relatively healthy with only small pitted 1-2 mm ulcers. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

Unlike some of my self-diagnosing hypochondriacal colleagues, he was actually suffering from a ‘real’ illness at the time of his initial presentation… Unfortunately on the day of his presentation we were not able to provide an appropriate light-weight [lifeinthefastlane.com]

  • Increased Sweating

    However, no pain, paresthesia or increased sweating was noted in three other reported patients. [1], [3], [4] Our patient, too, had no pain or paresthesia while wearing the plaster cast but he developed increased sweating in the periungual area of affected [ijdvl.com]

  • Muscular Atrophy

    It prevents muscular atrophy and the connective tissue surrounding the injured area is better supplied with blood. Also, joints become less stiff. [gipsverband.free.fr]

  • Distractibility

    Closed reduction was done under X-ray control and assembly was fixed using spanners with distraction forces maintained across the wrist joint. [ijoonline.com]

    While pain control and sedation are often required, other techniques are helpful for calming and distracting a child during cast application. [musculoskeletalkey.com]

    If the cast is very heavy, a distraction of fragments may occur. The hanging cast is ineffective if the patient is allowed to lie flat in bed. [boneandspine.com]

  • Foot Drop

    Similarly with Achilles tendon injuries, the foot drop position which is necessary to relief the tendon can be achieved with an inserted wedge-shaped sole in a lower leg orthesis, called walker. [gipsverband.free.fr]

    Nerve entrapment may occur with the common peroneal nerve at the fibular head, leading to foot drop. Avoid by ensuring proper placement of the proximal cast. Compartment syndrome can occur if casting is done before swelling is maximized. [sharinginhealth.ca]

  • Headache

  • Peripheral Neuropathy

    The patient had a baseline peripheral neuropathy that made postreduction neurocirculatory evaluation difficult. The surgeon should identify patients at risk for cast complications. [slideshare.net]

Abstract Distal radial fractures are common, and many methods of treatment have been reported but there are no studies that compare the different treatment methods. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Lastly, the investigators will determine high risk groups that will benefit most from anticoagulant treatment. [clinicaltrials.gov]

Past decade has witnessed various modalities of treatment in an effort to improve the outcome of these fractures [5]. The external fixator is a versatile tool that is now well established in the treatment of these fractures. [ijoonline.com]

Appropriate exercises for different degrees of instability with different etiologies are described in detail. [books.google.com]

Considering the low risk of a first event and the heterogeneous etiology of VTE, it is not efficient to develop a prediction model for the general population. [journals.plos.org]

New chapters cover casts and epidemiology and prevention of fractures. Elbow injuries are covered in greater detail in two chapters. New information on imaging and new MRI scans have been added. [books.google.com]

Tips to keep body casts clean and dry and prevent skin irritation around the genital area include the following: Use a diaper or sanitary napkin around the genital area to prevent leakage or splashing of urine Place toilet paper inside the bedpan to prevent [chw.org]

Place toilet paper inside the bedpan to prevent urine from splashing onto the cast or bed. Keep the genital area as clean and dry as possible to prevent skin irritation. [stanfordchildrens.org]

To prevent this complication, preventive treatment with anticoagulants (medication that thins the blood) is often used, most commonly, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). However, there is no agreement on this in existing national guidelines. [cochrane.org]
