Summary

The provider applies a cast to the lower leg to treat a fracture of one or both bones of the lower leg, the tibia and fibula, or a severe ankle sprain. She forms the bottom of the cast to accommodate a cast shoe that straps on over the cast and permits ambulation when able to bear weight on that leg. Alternatively, she applies a footplate and rubber heel to the bottom of the cast.
