## Why Traditional Bone Setting Continues to Outperform Rigid Casts
For over 150 years, the Puttur Kattu lineage has treated bone fractures with remarkable speed, minimal muscle atrophy, and superior patient comfort.
### Clinical Comparison: Traditional Splinting vs Synthetic Casts
- **Callus Formation Rate:** Herbal compounds containing *Cissus quadrangularis* actively stimulate osteoblast activity, speeding up natural bone callus bridging within 10-14 days.
- **Muscle Atrophy:** Traditional bamboo splinting allows subtle muscle micro-contractions, preventing severe disuse muscle wasting common with heavy plaster casts.
- **Skin Health:** Plaster of Paris traps moisture and dead skin, causing foul odor and itchy eczema. Herbal cotton bandages breathe freely.
- **Zero Chemical Irritation:** 100% organic herbal pastes made from pure medicinal roots and bark.
