Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Age: Patients under 18 years old. 2. Type of Fracture Patients with open fractures or compound fractures. Patients with displaced fractures. Patients with pathological fractures (fractures due to underlying disease) 3. Injury Severity: • Patients with multiple fractures or complex injuries. • Patients with associated soft tissue injuries that may affect healing (e.g., significant lacerations, nerve damage) .4. Medical Conditions: • Patients with conditions that impair healing (e.g., osteoporosis, diabetes, cancer). • Patients with circulatory disorders or vascular insufficiency in the affected limb. 5. Allergies Patients with known allergies to components of the sawdust-plaster mixture or any other materials used in the casting process. .6. Previous Treatments: • Patients who have received prior treatment for the same injury (e.g., previous casting, surgery). 7. Pregnancy: Pregnant women or those planning to become pregnant during the study period. 8.

MeasureTime frame
Primary Outcomes:1. Pain Reduction:. Timepoint: The first week after plastering. Method of measurement: Measured using a standardized pain scale (e.g., Visual Analog Scale (VAS) or Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Comfort Scale and time.;Acceleration Healing Duration:. Timepoint: Time taken for the fracture or injury to heal, assessed through radiographic. Method of measurement: 4 week time radiological.;Improved comfort •. Timepoint: The first week after plastering. Method of measurement: Evaluated through patient-reported comfort scores.
