Proper cast care is crucial to ensure a smooth recovery and avoid complications. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions patients have about cast care, providing you with the information you need to stay comfortable and safe. Keep Your Cast Dry How do I keep my cast dry while bathing or showering? It’s essential to keep your cast dry to prevent skin irritation or infection. Use a waterproof cast cover, available at most pharmacies, to protect your cast during showers or baths. Alternatively, you can wrap your cast in plastic bags and secure them with rubber bands. Avoid submerging your cast in water. ​ What should I do if my cast gets wet? If your cast gets wet, contact our office immediately. A wet cast can lead to skin irritation or infection. We may need to replace your cast or provide additional care instructions. Keep Your Cast Dry Managing Discomfort How can I relieve itching inside the cast? Itching is a common issue. Avoid inserting objects like hangers into the cast, as this can damage the skin or the cast. Instead, try gently tapping on the cast or using a hairdryer on a cool setting to blow air into it. How do I reduce swelling around the cast? Elevate the affected limb above heart level as much as possible, especially during the first few days. Applying ice to the area around the cast can also help, but be sure to keep the cast dry. Is it normal for my fingers or toes to feel numb or tingly? Numbness or tingling could indicate that your cast is too tight, if you elevate the limb and it does not resolve, please contact us to potentially come in to have the cast adjusted. Managing Discomfort Ensuring Cast Integrity What should I do if my cast feels too tight or too loose? A cast that’s too tight can restrict blood flow, while a loose cast won’t provide proper support. If you notice your cast no longer provides the support you need, please reach out to us for an evaluation. What should I do if the cast cracks or breaks? A damaged cast cannot provide the support you need. If your cast cracks or breaks, contact our office right away. We’ll assess the situation and replace the cast if necessary.

Fracture Care What is a fracture? Fractures are when the bone breaks from trauma like a fall or a collision during a sport. A fracture can occur when there is a force applied to the bone that is greater than the bone can handle. The first step in treating a fracture is to diagnose it. This is usually done with an X-ray. Once the fracture has been diagnosed, the next step is to determine the best course of treatment. Treatment options include using a brace, cast, or surgery. The type of treatment that is best for each individual case depends on many factors, such as the type of fracture and where it is located on the body. Common fractures: Collar bone (clavicle) Shoulder (proximal humerus fracture) Arm (humerus) Elbow (olecranon) Wrist (distal radius or scaphoid fractures) Finger Pelvis Hip Patella Tibia Ankle Foot ​ Types of fractures: -Closed fracture : the bone does not break through the skin -Open fracture : the bone breaks through the skin -Comminuted fracture : the bone shatters into three or more pieces -Displaced fracture : the ends of the broken bone are out of alignment ​ Treating a fracture: There are different ways to treat a fracture, depending on its type and location. Treatment options include using a brace, cast, or surgery. ​ Brace: A brace is used to support and stabilize the area around the fracture so that it can heal properly. Cast : A cast is used to immobilize the broken bone so that it can heal in the proper position. Surgery : Surgery is sometimes necessary to realign the bone and put it back into place. It may also be necessary to insert pins, plates, or screws to hold the bone in place while it heals. Recovery: The recovery process after a fracture depends on many factors, such as the type of fracture and where it is located on the body. Generally, it takes around four to eight weeks for a fracture to be healed to the point that it does not be protected. During this time, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions and keep the broken bone immobilized so that it can heal properly. After the bone has healed, you may need to do physical therapy to regain strength and range of motion in the area.
