Pediatric casting
Pediatric casting involves the use of a specialized protective shell to stabilize and support a child's fractured or misaligned bones during healing. The cast, typically made from plaster or fiberglass, encases the affected area to ensure proper alignment and immobilization, promoting effective recovery. Pediatric casts are tailored to accommodate a child's size and activity level, often designed to be lightweight and comfortable, with considerations for growth and hygiene. This non-invasive treatment option helps children regain movement and function while minimizing discomfort and preventing further injury.
