Most fracture and dislocations require a period of cast immobilization for proper healing, which results in joint stiffness and muscular weakness. Western medicine applies physiotherapy in post fracture stiffness. In Ayurveda, Acharya Sushruta has given a separate chapter for fracture and it’s treatment as Bhagna Chikitsa, Sushruta, stated that fracture of young aged person is healed in a short time as compare to old age person. In this case a 25year old female had road traffic accident which got comminuted fracture of distal end of left radius after that she was managed with closed reduction and percutaneous K-Wire fixation and Plaster of Paris (POP) cast were given below elbow for immobilization for 35days.
