Protection
provides an extensive overview of the history, principles, methods,
and techniques for applying a modern plaster or synthetic cast. The book
comprises three sections:

    and splinting, the physical properties of cast materials, and socioeconomic
    considerations
  • The Guidelines section explores nonoperative treatment for fractures,
    ligament, nerve, and soft-tissue injuries, overload injuries, and infections, in
    the upper and lower extremities and the spine
  • Finally, the Techniques section provides step-by-step descriptions on
    55 individual cast, splint, orthosis, and bandaging techniques, presented in
    high quality online video, and as stills with explanatory captions.
