Non-operative treatment by Plaster

Fractures: Children are prone to fractures due to their active lifestyles. Plaster casts help in stabilizing the broken bones, allowing them to heal naturally over time.
Congenital Deformities: Conditions like clubfoot or developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) can be effectively managed with plaster casting, often eliminating the need for surgery.
Soft Tissue Injuries: Sprains, strains, and minor ligament injuries can benefit from immobilization with a plaster cast, reducing pain and promoting healing.
Growth Plate Injuries: In children, injuries to the growth plates can impact bone development. Plaster casting ensures proper alignment and healing, minimizing the risk of long-term complications.

Understanding Plaster Treatment

Plaster casting, a time-tested method in orthopedic care, is especially valuable for treating children. The technique involves applying a plaster cast to immobilize the affected area, promoting natural healing by keeping the bones and tissues in the correct position. This non-surgical approach is often preferred for its simplicity, effectiveness, and ability to avoid the risks associated with surgery. Dr. Pritish Singh, a renowned Pediatric Orthopaedic and Deformity Correction Surgeon, brings a wealth of expertise to this treatment. His approach to Non-operative treatment by Plaster in Noida is rooted in a deep understanding of pediatric anatomy and the unique needs of growing children.

The Plaster Application Process

The process of applying a plaster cast is meticulous and requires the skill of an experienced orthopedic surgeon. At Little Bones Clinic, the procedure is carried out with precision to ensure the best outcomes.

1. Assessment and Planning: Dr. Pritish Singh carefully assesses the injury or condition, taking into account the child’s age, activity level, and specific needs. A tailored treatment plan is developed to address the issue effectively.
2. Application of Plaster Cast: The affected area is first padded with soft material to protect the skin. The plaster is then carefully applied, molded, and shaped to provide optimal support and immobilization. The cast is allowed to harden, creating a secure fit that stabilizes the injury.
3. Follow-up and Care: Regular follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor the healing process. The cast may need adjustments, and Dr. Singh ensures that the child’s comfort and safety are prioritized throughout the treatment.
