Closed Reduction and Plaster/Cast Application of Fractures

Closed reduction and plaster or cast application is a non-surgical procedure used to realign fractured bones without surgical intervention. The fracture is manually set under analgesia or sedation, and proper alignment is confirmed using X-rays. Once aligned, the bone is immobilized with a plaster or synthetic cast to maintain stability during healing. The procedure helps correct displaced fractures without surgery and ensures proper bone union. Post-procedure care involves cast maintenance, elevation of the affected limb, monitoring neurovascular status, and physiotherapy after cast removal to restore function and strength.
