How long does it take to remove gypsum?

How long the plaster external fixation can be removed depends entirely on the nature of the disease. If the plaster fixation is caused by tendon rupture, the time to remove the plaster is generally 4 weeks; If the joint capsule is broken or damaged, it usually takes 3~4 weeks to remove the plaster. If the plaster is fixed due to nerve injury, the removal time is 3 weeks; If the plaster is fixed due to vascular injury, the time to remove the plaster is 2 weeks; If the fracture leads to plaster fixation, the removal time is generally about 6 ~ 10 week.

How long the plaster is fixed depends on the patient's injury. If the patient is fixed with plaster support due to tendon rupture, the plaster support can usually be removed within about three to four weeks. If a patient is fixed with plaster because of a fracture, children can usually take out the plaster in about one month, and it takes about one and a half months for adults to take out the plaster. Then scalding can strengthen the flexion and extension of the joint and restore the normal function of the patient.
