Plaster cast instructions for parents and carers
Royal Hospital for Children for Patients, Carers & Visitors
Warning
Your child has had a plaster cast applied to either their arm or leg to help support it while it heals.
This booklet will tell you how to protect the cast and encourage healing, when and who to ask for help if you have concerns, signs of infection, how to prevent swelling, and help with using crutches.
