A plaster cast is a hard, protective shell that is used to support and protect a broken or injured arm, leg, or other body part while it heals. Applied by medical professionals, the plaster cast wraps around the affected area, keeping the bones in place and preventing movement. Plaster casts are crucial for helping bones mend properly and can be customized in size and shape to fit different parts of the body. They typically stay on until the healing process is complete, after which they are removed by a healthcare provider.

An X-ray is an image created using a type of radiation that passes through the body to produce pictures of the internal structures. During the X-ray procedure, a small amount of radiation is directed at the area being examined, and a device on the other side captures the radiation that passes through, creating a detailed image. X-rays are commonly used to examine bones, detect fractures, and identify issues in organs or tissues. The images help doctors diagnose conditions, monitor progress, and plan treatments.
