One of the characters is shown before, during, and after major orthopedic surgery on his elbow and knee. Following surgery, both the entire arm and entire leg are encased in close-fitting gypsum casts. The intact casts are taken off many days later. Even with today's medicine, this would be impossible: injury and surgery to those joints would cause a great amount of unavoidable swelling that would make close-fitting casts detrimental and torturous. If casts are used today, ordinarily the area around the joint is cut out to accommodate swelling.
