In pediatric patients, synthetic casts are often preferred for several reasons:
Lightweight: They are much lighter than plaster casts, making it easier for children to move around. Durability: Synthetic materials are more durable and resistant to water, making them less likely to break or deteriorate. Breathability: These casts are more breathable, reducing the risk of skin irritation and infection. Aesthetics: They come in various colors and designs, which can be more appealing to children.
