A fracture does not have to be in a cast to recover. The main indications for casting a fracture are stable fractures after reduction and compression fractures of the spine. The purpose of casting is to immobilize the fracture so that the fracture will be aligned during the recovery process and to prevent the fracture from being displaced due to excessive muscle pulling during activities. The general course of fracture treatment is divided into reduction, immobilization and functional exercises. If the fracture site is not active, local braking or bandage fixation can also be used, which can also play a role in immobilization. Plastering is only a way to fix the broken end of the fracture, what kind of fixation should be used after the fracture needs to be further judged according to the condition of the patient, and it is recommended to choose the suitable fracture fixation according to the doctor’s advice, and the fracture doesn’t necessarily need to be in a plaster cast in order to recover.
