title: [The material properties of a combined plaster-plastic cast].
abstract: The treatment of patients by a combined plaster/plastic cast often is more advantageous than the application of only one of these components. Now a compression test was made to check the attributes of the plaster, plastic and combined material. There were shown clear differences in the elastic behavior and the solidity of both casts, and the combination of both materials consequently was not really stable.
