Overview

Managing of Fractures with Plaster of Paris: A Practical Guide for Health Professionals is designed for a variety of scholars, educators and students in various tertiary colleges of medical and health education. The author has extensive exposure to learning and teaching. This includes his experience as an undergraduate and post-graduate doctor, and as such has observed shortcomings in the delivery of material to the learner as far as the use of plaster of Paris in the management of non-displaced fractures. To this end the manual is designed in a cook-book style (step-by-step) for both the lecturer and the learner. While the manual is designed for the non-displaced fractures, the principles can be utilized even by surgeons that will have manipulated the displaced fracture into an accepted anatomical orientation. The manual is patient-focused and it is the author's wish and hope that the end user will find this manual worthwhile.
