In a fresh fracture the limb often swells over the first days. A slab (back-slab) cast supports the bone but is open, leaving room for the swelling. Once the swelling settles, it is commonly changed to a full fibre cast.
What the consultation can include
- Application of a padded slab to support the injury
- Advice on elevation and signs of too much swelling
- A planned visit to change the slab to a full cast
- Guidance on when to go to hospital urgently
When to consider a consultation
- A fresh injury with marked swelling
- You were given a slab at hospital and need a change at home
- The limb is swollen and the cast feels tight
