They have been using fixed limb methods for fracture treatment for nearly 5000 years. Hippocrates recognized the importance of the splint and the "roller bandage" for fracture treatment, and made the bandage hard by adding wax, pitch, lard or resin to the multi-layer cloth bandage, but not gypsum. Arabian physician El Zahrawi (936 -1013) also described a clay glue mixture, and flour and egg white as fracture fixation materials. From 970, Persian physician Muwafak used gypsum as the exclusive material for fracture fixation. The rudimentary form of modern plaster bandages was developed in the mid-19th century and spread widely after that, using methods from the Russian Pyrogov by soaking canvas in a gypsum slurry and Dutchman Massson wrapped gypsum powder in cotton cloth strips.
人类加工和使用石膏并用于建筑和生活用具中至少有7 000年的历史。而将石膏用于骨折固定,首次文献记载是在公元970年,波斯医师穆瓦法克用石膏浆浇注的方法固定小腿骨折。虽然从希波克拉底时代开始,在欧洲大陆、埃及、中国等地区,先后有在绷带上添加蜡、沥青、油脂或树脂,以及粘土胶混合物、面粉和蛋清等物质使绷带变硬的方法,但均不能像石膏那样快速硬化。直到19世纪中期,分别由俄国的皮罗戈夫用帆布浸泡在石膏浆中的方法,以及荷兰的马西森用布条包夹石膏粉的方法,才形成了现代石膏绷带的雏形,并迅速在全世界推广。.
