Correct Procedure Diagram
Please see diagram below for correct casting procedure:

1 |
(Good Cast) Cast must be taken on a 1/2" contoured footboard. |
2 |
(Good Cast) If the patient is in equines the cast should look something like this. |
3 |
Not like this! |
4 |
Unless it is a fixed situation, this is in too much of a dorsi flextion position. |
5 |
If the patient is not genu valgus the leg should not be like this. |
6 |
Please be careful not to over correct by putting the forefoot into inversion. |
7 |
If the cast is taken like the one in figure 8, it will cause the brace to buckle outward. |
8 |
(continued) as in figure 7, at the malleolus areas when the patient stands and the leg straight, thus providing no support. |
