Q. Which of these is not a POP (plaster of paris) spinting technique?
1. Coaptation spint
2. Bulky Jones
3. Sugartong
4. Charnley unit
Answer - 4
Charnley unit is not pure plaster technique as are other three. A skeletal traction pin (upper tibia skeletal traction) incorporated with below knee plaster is Charnley unit. This is done to prevent loosening of pin in osteoporotic bones by providing plaster suppport.
Bulky jones is below knee plaster along with a U shaped plaster for below knee support.
Coaptation plaster is used in humerus fractures , akin to 'U' cast/slab.
Sugertong splint is for forearm fractures where a plaster is strenghthened with a U shaped another plaster for better support.
