Patient's question:
2-year-old child with a bone fracture, casted for 1 month, now removed. It's been 82 days now, and the doctor suggests walking, but now walking with the foot turning outward. Will this have an impact in the future?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally it takes about 2 months to remove the cast.After the cast is removed, many patients feel discomfort in the joints and experience pain. This is because after long-term immobilization, adhesions may form inside the joints, and soft tissues may contract, so discomfort during movement is a normal phenomenon.
