title: A combination of plastic and plaster of Paris (Kombigips) in fracture treatment.
abstract: A new model of plaster bandage with combination of gypsum and plastics is presented and its economic use is compared with traditional technics. "Kombigips" in 12 patients was more efficient in staging of fracture healing than traditional plaster bandages, because the X-ray properties of "Kombigips" are more profitable. "Kombigips" is much more cheaper than use of pure plastic bandages and nearly as cheap as use of traditional plaster bandages.
