Summary
The provider applies a cast to immobilize the lower leg and foot but allow the knee to bend, in the treatment of tibia and fibula shaft fractures. The cast covers the lower leg but includes a segment in the front that comes up over the knee. The pressure applied to the fracture site stimulates bone growth as the patient walks.
