About Leg Casting
Leg casting is a precise procedure used to treat broken bones in the leg. It involves realigning and stabilizing the fractured bones to ensure proper healing. This can address fractures in the tibia, fibula, and other leg bones with accuracy and care.
Common Conditions Treated with Leg Casting:
Broken tibias can cause significant pain and impair leg function. Casting can realign and stabilize the bones for optimal healing.
Fractures in the fibula, the smaller bone in the lower leg, can affect movement and stability. Casting can restore normal function.
Ankle fractures, including those involving the tibia and fibula near the joint, can limit leg and foot movement. Casting can ensure proper alignment and recovery.
Multiple fractures or fractures involving joints may require casting to restore full function and prevent long-term issues.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Leg Casting:
Chronic pain that does not improve with rest or conservative treatments like splinting or medication.
Ongoing swelling and stiffness in the leg or ankle that limit your ability to move or use your leg.
Visible deformity or abnormal positioning of the leg or ankle, indicating a misaligned fracture.
Difficulty walking, standing, or performing everyday tasks due to the fracture.
Benefits of Leg Casting
Leg casting offers several advantages, helping you regain leg function and return to your activities. Here’s how it can benefit you:
By addressing the fracture, casting can significantly reduce or eliminate leg pain.
Post-casting, you’ll likely experience better leg movement and strength, enabling you to use your leg more effectively.
The procedure ensures that bones heal in the correct position, preventing future complications and deformities.
Some fractures can be treated with minimally invasive techniques, leading to faster recovery times and less scarring.
Leg Casting Procedure
Our experienced medical team uses advanced techniques to treat leg fractures effectively. Here’s a simplified overview of the procedure:
You will receive regional or general anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure.
The bones are realigned and fixed in place using a cast to stabilize the fracture.
A cast is applied to immobilize the leg and ensure proper healing.
Leg Casting Recovery
Mild discomfort or soreness post-casting can be managed with prescribed pain medications.
Your leg will be bandaged to protect the cast. Keeping the area dry and clean is essential.
Rehabilitation exercises may be recommended to restore strength and flexibility to the leg and ankle.
Most patients can resume light activities within a few days. Gradual return to normal routines and leg use will be guided by your medical team.
