What is a spica cast? A spica cast (also called a hip spica cast or body cast) immobilizes the hips and thighs so that bones or tendons can heal properly. It's usually put on in surgery while the child is sleeping. There are several types of spica casts. They begin at the chest and may extend down to cover one leg, both legs, or the leg on one side and down to the hip or knee of the other side. The doctor will decide what type of spica cast your child needs. Cast care

Bone marrow. The inside of your bones are filled with a soft tissue called marrow. There are two types of bone marrow: red and yellow. Red bone marrow is where all new red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are made.Platelets are small pieces of cells that help you stop bleeding when you get a cut. Red bone marrow is found in the center of flat bones such as your shoulder blades and ribs.Yellow marrow is made mostly of fat and is found in the hollow centers of long bones, such as the thigh bones. It does not make blood cells or platelets.Both yellow and red bone marrow have many small and large blood vessels and veins running through them to let nutrients and waste in and out of the bone.ellow marrow is made mostly of fat and is found in the hollow centers of long bones, such as the thigh bones.
