Although fracture and plaster services are relatively straightforward procedures, adequate pre-operative measures are essential to ensure your safety and the success of the treatment.

Consult your doctor for an overall health and fitness checkup prior to scheduling your fracture and plaster appointment.
Inform your doctor about any medications you are currently taking. Your doctor may advise you to adjust your medication regimen before the procedure.
Your specialist will evaluate your condition and discuss the details of the procedure, including any necessary preparations and potential risks.
Avoid consuming food or drink after your dinner the night before the scheduled procedure. Typically, fasting begins after 10 pm.

You will receive appropriate anesthesia to ensure the procedure is comfortable and pain-free.
The entire procedure, including anesthesia administration, positioning, plaster application, and recovery, may take several hours.
After the procedure, your doctor will assist you in recovering from the effects of anesthesia.
You will be monitored in the recovery room for a certain period before being transferred to a ward.
You may experience some discomfort or pain after the procedure. Your doctor will prescribe pain medication to manage any discomfort.
The goal is to mobilize you and promote early recovery. Physiotherapy may be recommended to facilitate rehabilitation.
If urinary catheters were used during the procedure (in some cases), they will be removed once you are mobile.
You may experience stiffness or soreness at the site of the procedure, as well as numbness in the affected area. These symptoms will gradually improve over time.

The duration of your hospital stay will depend on your recovery progress. However, most patients are discharged the following day.
Your wound will be dressed with a waterproof dressing, and you will be instructed on how to change it every alternate day.
Follow-up appointments will be scheduled for Week 1, Week 6, and six months after the procedure to monitor your progress.
Ensure your home environment is conducive to recovery by keeping essential items and medications within reach to avoid straining your affected limb.
Remove any clutter or hazards from your home to prevent accidents or falls during the recovery period.
Arrange for a family member or friend to assist you with post-surgical care and support once you return home.
