IMPORTANT CARE INFORMATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casts and splints are orthopedic devices used to immobilize and protect bones and joints after a fracture, sprain, surgery, or other injury. Follow these recommendations to ensure a successful recovery:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Cast\/Splint Care:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    \u25cb\u00a0 Keep the cast or splint clean and dry.<\/strong>Moisture can irritate the skin and damage the cast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u25cb\u00a0 If you have a fiberglass cast, you can gently clean it with a damp cloth. Traditional plaster casts should be kept away from water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u25cb\u00a0 If the cast gets wet, dry it as soon as possible using a hair dryer on a cool setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Elevation:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      \u25cb\u00a0 Elevate the injured limb above heart level whenever possible, especially during the first few days after the injury. This helps reduce swelling and pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Mobility:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \u25cb\u00a0 Move your fingers or toes regularly to improve circulation and prevent stiffness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Itching:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          \u25cb\u00a0 Do not insert objects inside the cast to scratch. If itching occurs, try blowing cool air into the cast with a hair dryer on a cool setting or consult your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Skin Inspection:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            \u25cb\u00a0 Check the skin around the edges of the cast or splint daily for signs of irritation or pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u25cb\u00a0 If you notice redness, blisters, or sores, contact your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Warning Signs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Contact Your Doctor Immediately If You Experience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \u25a0\u00a0 Increasing pain or swelling<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \u25a0\u00a0Numbness or tingling in fingers or toes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \u25a0\u00a0 Color changes in fingers or toes (pale, blue, or cold)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \u25a0\u00a0 Difficulty moving fingers or toes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \u25a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \u25a0\u00a0 Foul odor or discharge from the cast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Medical Follow-Up:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                \u25cb\u00a0 Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments. Your doctor needs to monitor the healing process and adjust treatment if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
