Lower limb intracast pressures generated by different types of immobilisation casts

Figure 5 Graph indicating pain levels generated by different types of lower limb casts, as measured by Visual Analog Scores (mean + standard error bars). Complete fiberglass casts generated the highest pain levels. Split fiberglass casts produced significantly less pain at intracast volumes of 75 mL and greater. There was no significant difference in pain generated by complete plaster of Paris casts (POP) and backslabs when the intracast volume was 200 mL or lower. VAS: Visual Analog Scores.
