Casting - Short Leg Walking Cast without Toe Plate

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video demonstrates how to apply a short leg walking cast without a toe plate. It begins by ensuring the patient's foot stays at a 90-degree angle and placing it on a footstand. The process involves applying stockinette, cotton padding, and fiberglass for support. The toes are trimmed out, and the fiberglass is molded to fit the foot. The cast is then wrapped with a splint and finished off with a collar roll. To remove the cast, it is cut along the lateral and medial sides, following the lines drawn in the video.
