Summary:Paediatric tibial shaft fractures are commonly treated nonoperatively and followed-up in the clinic setting.

The authors present a technique to aid in the wedging of plasters for paediatric tibia and forearm fractures that reduces time requirement, hospital costs and emotional distress on the part of the patient and family.
