Some time plaster will be loose after some days. they can extend the plaster upto thigh with knee bend to 90. to prevent it coming down.

Normally the ctev plaster is above knee well moulded with flexing knee to little more than 90degrees. Mostly it stays. But in chubby and actively moving kid, it may slip out sometimes.
