Casting - Long Leg Walking Cast

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video provides instructions on how to apply a long leg walking cast. The process involves placing stockinette on the leg, wrapping cast padding from the foot to the thigh, and then applying fiberglass. Adequate padding is ensured by placing double and triple strips on specific areas. The cast is reinforced using a splint or additional layer of fiberglass. The bottom part is finished with a colored roll, and the top is covered with stockinette and wrapped with fiberglass. The cast is molded and allowed to dry before completion.
