It mainly depends on the severity of the injury. Whether it is a complete or an incomplete fracture. Usually they use rods, screws, and plates to reset bone fractures in ORIF surgery. I was in a car accident a year ago and broke my foot, femur, humerus, and my radial bone came through my arm and I only had a cast on my foot and I had metal rods and plates everywhere else with splints holding them in place. So it just depends.

They can put your whole body in a cast if necessary....they usually don't cast fingers , toes, ribs, or tail bones ........but they can put you in a whole body cast!

limbs- arms and hands and legs and ankles
sometimes legs are put in traction - then you lie in a bed with your leg in the air.
backs and necks get braces

Why are you planning on breaking one? Put your whole body in one.
