Abstract

The treatment of fractures has gone through a drastic change since it’s inception. With development of modern orthopaedics and technological advancements, non-operative treatment is escaping out of armamentarium of orthopaedic surgeons. As the number of plaster of treatments have gone down drastically the residents in the teaching hospitals are not getting exposure to the art and science of plaster treatment.
