Original Note:
It is inaccurate to say Pirogov was the first to apply plaster casts, however he did pioneer a specific and successful technique. Pieter Hendriksz, a professor at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, is credited as the first Westerner to use this technique in 1814. https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(17)30230-6/pdf
