    Broke my left foot 6 weeks ago. Started off with a splint from urgent care. Got in to see the Orthopedic doctor 4 days later. They put it in a hard cast. My first cast i picked a dark blue they used a black stocking with it. I was told to come back two weeks later to change it since they get dirty. I changed it and picked purple like this one with a black stocking for it. Then i had my 4 week check up. They said they could put me in a boot for another 2 weeks none weight bearing. They put me in a splint until my insurance approved the boot. A week went by, still no boot so i just got another hard cast for more protection. I choose pink this time. They used a white stocking for it. Hopefully the last time i get a cast. I'm so tired of being in a hard cast and having to use a knee scooter or wheelchair to get around. I'll never take walking for granted.

    I broke my foot 2 weeks ago and got a blue cast on yesterday! I really enjoyed watching them put it on aswell as the warmth of the coloured wrap as it had just been dipped in the warm water! Very fascinating how the material can go from soft to hard so quickly!

    I had a blue cast on my left leg for my broken ankle back in late March 2012. I did had a choice of colors of the cast. I picked blue which is my favorite color. I had to put my foot on this bar when the cast was being done around my ankle and leg.

    Just had a purple cast done like this on my right foot/leg and so sick of having casts I've broken my 2nd, 3rd 4th & 5th metatarsal this time, this is now the 7th time I've broken my right foot & have broken my left 6 ffs I tried a moon boot since Xmas day but it didn't help so now a cast for 4-8 weeks as my bones take so long to heal due to having cancer in the bones

    The padding should be done diagonally ; not to cut off blood circulation and distal-proximal; flowing blood to the heart

    This will be my 1st cast as an adult (37) and I am kinda nervous about it so I am looking at the procedure here.. I still thought casts were made with plaster of paris haha..

      Its placed in water so that it can start hardening. When its rolled up its still maneuverable and not hard which is why its rolled up. So once you place it in water it starts its hardening process as it dries.

    Anyone here to help please. Why apply two layers to the legs first before applying the plaster itself ?

    • @grahamryan600
      @grahamryan600 5 років тому +4

      The possibility center As far as I’m aware they cut casts off so you’re protected underneath from being cut if they’re 2 later of bandages underneath also the plaster they put on drys to be hard as a rock so if they would put it directly on skin they would probably pull a layer of skin off so all in all it’s safer to put 2 layers on first, hope this helps :)

    • @isolatedraven3805

    • @patrickmessier1642
      @patrickmessier1642 2 роки тому

      THE TWO LAYERS ARE MADE OF E.T. MATERIAL THAT WONT ALLOW THE CUTTING BLADE TO CUT YOUR SKIN WHEN TAKING OFF THE CAST, ALSO, ITS TO ABSORB WATER IF YOU ACCIDENTLY WALK THROUGH A LAKE AND IT GETS WET, AND FINALLY , YOU CAN REUSE THE CAST WHEN YOU BREAK THE BONE AGAIN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

    You should start proximal and work distal. Why....edema

    • @bettysmith7045
      @bettysmith7045 4 роки тому +4

      Actually you should always work distal to proximal!

    • @antibull4869
      @antibull4869 2 роки тому

      Considering the point of a cast is to immobilize the limb, its also implied that it must be tight…
      Securing it from the top of the limb (proximal) to the end (distal) would remove all possibility for the body to move the fluids out of the distal part as its “squished” down. Casts shouldnt be tight enough to completely stop the cardiovascular/lymphatic system from doing their jobs, but if you “squish” from the top down, you push more fluid down and make it more difficult for those systems to do their job properly (leading to edema (swelling))…
      Example: take a balloon, if you want to remove the air from it you push from the bottom (distal) to the top (proximal).
      TL;DR: you would want to put the tight fitting cast on from the bottom of the limb first, then continue up to allow the body the best chance to do its job.

      Benecast Select Polyester. They mainly use fiberglass which is what that looks like they really don't use plaster cast anymore. I was dragged down I-75 when I was 12 years old I've endured 70 surgeries 23 broken bones amputation at the hip six months in the U of m Burn Unit and I cannot be in the sun which is unrelated I sweat profusely from trying 48 different meds and the ones that do somewhat work for my phantom limb pain cause profuse sweating and I've spent over 1,400 days in the hospital and I've had 28 cast changes under anesthesia but don't consider them surgeries put on over and over and over and over but I've never applied one myself. Are you planning to apply 12 yourself? Please be very careful because you can impinge a nerve and cause nerve damage if it's not done properly. I hope that this helped you and I'm sure you can buy everything online. Hope you don't have a hurt 🦵 leg.🌸💜🌸
