Correct Procedure Diagram

Please see diagram below for correct casting procedure:

Figures

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.
