The below knee plaster cast as seen in picture is coupled with a wooden scale and this arrangement is known as ' boot and bar' in which a bar or scale is used to check or maintain the rotation of the limb and the boot it plaster cast is supporting the bar or helps in giving traction through it.
This old method of conservative treatment is now only reserved to treat cases of mainly hip region like intertrochanteric fracture in cases that are not fit for surgery due to comorbidities.
