| description | In surgical camps, deformity correction and immobilizationby Plaster of Paris (POP) cast is a routine methodfollowed in about four weeks by removal of sutures/plaster and provision of orthosis. A new technique wasdeveloped in which after corrective surgery, instead ofPOP cast pre-fabricated orthosis were fitted in 236 caseswith lower limb deformities following post polio residualparalysi and cerebral palsy.Use of pre-fabricated orthosis, immediately after surgeryin these camps reduced the cost markedly besides beingconvenient to fit the orthosis in one go. |
