image Q. 97 - Plastered

Q.   Which of these is common of all given complications during removal of plaster ?

a. Iatrogenic fracture
b. Pressure necrosis
c. Thermal burn
d. Skin erythema


































































































































Answer -
c

Thermal burn can be a common complication out of all other options.
Thermal burn results from inadvertent contact of plaster cutting saw ( motorised) into the skin.

As these saw do not usually give sharp incisive cuts, their rotational blades may produce heat and therefore thermal superficial burns.

Pressure complications are common complication but not that of removal of plaster.

Iatrogenic injuries may result due to excessive forceful technique but is relatively uncommon.
