A member asked:
I went to the hospital for a broken bone in my hand,they put a plaster on it.told me to come here after 14 days. but seven days later the plaster became slightly loose. can the plaster be twisted with a thin rope or cloth to keep it a little tighter?

Don't try any home remedies, you could possible disturb the healing process of the broken bone. Too much pressure on plaster is not indicated. Go back to hospital for adjustment.
