The use of plaster of Paris bandage: A plaster-coated fabric bandage that is applied in layers around an injured limb or part of limb to construct a stiff dressing (cast) in order to immobilize fractured bones, diseased joints, or painful sprains.

It is widely used pre-operatively for temporary immobilisation and stabilisation of fractures, post-operatively for protection of fixation and soft tissue resting, correcting deformities and definitive management of specific injuries.

If it is a POP cast, you can keep the involved limb in a bucket of water for 15 min. so that it becomes relatively soft and then remove it..
