In both hospitals the aftercare is in the hands of the local orthopaedic surgeons and their staffs. The physiotherapists take care of the Plaster of Paris (Gypsona), and the  mobilisation / rehabilitation of the patients.

Usually we don’t change POP’s unless they start smelling.

A treatment protocol is  developed.
