Various plaster splints can be used in the management of many acute musculoskeletal injuries seen in the emergency setting. These include gutter splints of thumb, radial and ulnar types; volar forearm, sugar-tong and posterior elbow splints, and knee, short leg and stirrup splints. When properly made, these devices afford symptomatic relief, mechanical support and sometimes even definitive therapy for fractures and soft tissue injuries of the extremities.
在处理急诊中常见的许多急性肌肉骨骼损伤时，可以使用各种石膏夹板。这些包括拇指、桡骨和尺骨类型的槽形夹板；掌侧前臂、糖钳式和肘后夹板，以及膝部、小腿和马镫形夹板。如果制作得当，这些装置能缓解症状、提供机械支撑，有时甚至能对四肢骨折和软组织损伤进行确定性治疗。
