About the treatment
How the cast is applied depends on the fracture or injury to your arm or leg. There are two methods:
- Around your entire arm or leg. This is called a full cast.
- Only on the underside of your arm or leg. This is called a splint.
The doctor will determine which cast you will receive.
There are two types of cast. The type of cast you receive depends on the fracture and the injury:
- After an accident or surgery, you will usually receive a plaster cast first.
- Once your arm or leg is no longer swollen, you will usually receive a plastic cast. You may also receive a plastic cast after the removal of stitches
If you break your arm, you may need to rest it in a sling.
A sling is a strap with a loop that hangs around your neck. Your arm hangs in the loop.
