Many people in their lives experience broken bones in various parts of the body. The most problematic are leg fractures, which have a strong impact on a person’s mobility and life.
Each such violation of the integrity of the bone is accompanied by the mandatory application of a plaster cast, which will ensure immobility of the affected part of the body for a long period of time until the bone tissue grows together again. A natural question arises: a broken leg - how long to walk in a cast?
A leg fracture is always accompanied by a lot of inconvenience for the patient - the person has difficulty moving, cannot function normally during the day and even sleep, so doctors often hear the question of how long the patient will have to wear a plaster cast.
In general, a plaster cast is applied for a period of one and a half to four months, but very often the attending physician extends this period for a number of important reasons.
Of great importance is the condition of other tissues that could be damaged when the integrity of the bone is violated - muscles and tendons could be stretched or torn. If this happens, the period of wearing the bandage will increase.
The doctor may increase the period of wearing the cast for a number of other reasons:
In some cases, it becomes necessary to fix the leg with a cast twice as long as in standard situations, for example, if the patient suffers from diabetes or his age exceeds 50 years.
A leg fracture is a general concept that indicates damage to the lower limb in one or more places. Most often, injuries occur below the knee, since the bone tissue of this area is most susceptible to various kinds of negative influences.
This is the most common injury to the lower extremity, which can occur when the foot is turned sharply, when there is a strong, rapid impact on this area with a blunt object, such as from a blow, a fall on an uneven surface, or an accident.
An ankle fracture can be external or internal. If a violation of the integrity of the bone in the first case occurred without displacement or other complications, then a plaster cast is applied for up to 4 weeks, but if there were complications, then the period of wearing the plaster is extended to 5 weeks.
In the second case, that is, with an internal ankle injury without complications, the period of wearing the cast is 7 weeks, and in case of complications it can be extended to 2.5 months.
Mixed ankle fractures occur quite rarely - in such a situation, the treatment time without complications and with complications is 2.5 and 4 months, respectively.
The second most common leg fracture is a violation of the integrity of the bones of the lower leg. A fracture of the tibia occurs, as a rule, with a strong blow, a fall on an uneven surface, if the load on the tibia was unevenly distributed.
The main bones of the lower leg are the fibula and the tibia. Naturally, violation of the integrity of each of them entails different periods of wearing a plaster cast.
If there is a violation of the integrity of the fibula, the treatment period will be 1 month. In cases where the tibia is affected, a plaster cast is applied for about 3 months. It is extremely rare that doctors observe injuries to both tibia bones - in this case the patient will have to wear a cast for up to 4 months.
If complications arise during a fracture of the tibia - the bones are crushed or displaced, then the patient will have to traction the skeleton to put the bones in place, or undergo complex surgery, during which the bones will be fixed with a metal rod or plate.
If skeletal traction is sufficient, then this procedure will take 1 month, after which the patient will have to continue treatment for another 3 months. In cases where fixation in the form of a metal plate or rod is necessary, plaster can be applied for 1 year.
Thus, a tibia fracture can be called one of the most complex leg fractures.
The bones of the foot can be damaged if a heavy object falls on the leg, or if you are careless during a sudden and significant weight gain, for example, during pregnancy. Injuries of this type are dangerous because the lack of timely and proper treatment can lead to disruption of the functions of the foot and its shape.
In general, if a violation of the integrity of the bones occurs without complications, then treatment lasts about 2 months. If there were any complications, then this period lasts up to 3 months.
This is the simplest version of a leg fracture, which can occur due to various reasons - a heavy object falling on the toes, hitting a hard surface, or even just a bad step.
The minimum period for applying plaster is 2 weeks, and if it is necessary to fix the bones with metal plates or splints, this period can be extended to 2.5 months.
It is always necessary to remember that the period of wearing a plaster cast can be extended almost 2 times if the patient is in poor health, the bones are not healing well, the victim does not adhere to the rules of behavior when wearing a plaster, or other problems arise during treatment.
Naturally, complete immobilization of a certain part of the body brings with it many inconveniences. However, such a measure is simply necessary to ensure proper and rapid fusion of bone tissue.
Maintaining the integrity of the plaster cast is the patient’s main task if he wants to fully restore motor function.
To do this, you must follow a set of rules:
Each case is individual, so it is impossible to say with certainty the period of time after which the plaster cast can be removed.
During treatment, the doctor quite often prescribes an x-ray of the injured limb - the resulting image helps the specialist determine the degree of fusion of bone tissue, the correctness of fusion, and the speed of recovery of the muscles and tendons surrounding the injury. If the bone has completely fused, the specialist will independently remove the plaster and check the external condition of the leg.
In case of leg fractures, you should never self-medicate - all procedures are carried out by a doctor, based on X-ray data.
Self-treatment in such a situation can provoke a re-fracture, improper healing, damage to muscles and tendons, and many other injuries.
To avoid all this, you need to entrust your treatment to a doctor and not try to do anything yourself.
An ankle fracture most often occurs after an unfortunate fall on one's feet, as well as as a consequence of sports injuries. They come in closed and open types.
Open is characterized by external rupture of the skin and muscle tissue.
A closed one is externally indicated by swelling and blue discoloration of tissues that have been damaged from the inside due to a bone fracture.
The ankle, we also call it the ankle, consists of two parts:
An ankle fracture can be with or without displacement.
Mixing is when, as a result of an injury, the position of the bones in relation to each other is disrupted.
So, if the external soft tissues are not damaged, how to recognize a fracture? First of all, it is a sharp or dull pain, blueness and redness, bruising. But it happens that external signs are not very pronounced, and the pain syndrome is moderate. This situation delays the correct and timely diagnosis of bone injury without displacement. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to other signs. Examine the skin, if you can see that it is stretched, then this is one of the obvious symptoms confirming a fracture, also if flexion and extension is difficult and severe pain occurs, it is impossible to step on the leg, then this is a 100% sign of a fracture and you should immediately contact hospital, where the first step is to take an x-ray and fix the damaged foot with a bandage, bandage it and apply a plaster cast. It is important to wait until it hardens completely before stepping on your foot. On average, the process of bone fusion takes up to two months. It is impossible to say definitely how long it will take, firstly, because each organism is individual, and secondly, it also depends on the person’s age; in old age, the bone grows together much longer.
After the cast is removed, there is still a rehabilitation process ahead, which includes massages and physical therapy to develop the leg.
With a mixed fracture, the pain is very strong, it is impossible to move or stand on the leg, the lower leg itself loses its correct shape, swelling and hematoma appear. When palpated, you can feel the presence of fragments and sharp edges of the bone. With this outcome of the injury, the doctor is obliged to administer local anesthesia and fold the ankle, and then fix it and apply a plaster.
In the case of an open fracture, an operation is performed during which the structure of the ankle, ligaments and soft tissues is restored. This must be done immediately, since swelling will occur and before starting restoration work, you will have to wait until the swelling goes away, this can take a whole week, and all this time the ankle will need to be fixed using a cut plaster or skeletal traction.
How long to walk in a cast depends on what kind of ankle fracture, if it is closed and without mixing, then the leg will heal within a month or two; a number of accompanying factors are also important here, such as age and the presence of other diseases. To maintain the body, so that the fracture heals better and faster, you must strictly adhere to the doctor’s recommendations; you can and even need to take vitamins during this period that contain calcium and phosphorus.
A fracture with a mixture takes more time, there are cases when the bone heals incorrectly, then the plaster is removed and a new one is taken, the bone is broken and folded again, accordingly, the healing time of the ankle is extended by at least another four weeks.
In case of a fracture, when two ankles are damaged, but there is no mixing, the plaster is removed after at least six or eight weeks, and if there was mixing, the bone heals much longer, the healing process can take up to two and a half months.
In the case where the ankle fracture is open, the tissues are damaged, and the position of the bones has also shifted, then you can’t count on quick removal of the plaster. You expect that you will need to walk with your leg immobilized for at least three to four months.
How long it will take to recover after the fracture has healed and the plaster has been removed depends directly on you. Rehabilitation is an important stage on the path to full recovery.
The entire period of wearing the cast should be under the supervision of a doctor. X-rays are taken periodically to determine whether the bones have fused. It is prohibited to make decisions about recovery on your own, much less remove the cast. It should be taken into account that if you have a history of diabetes, osteoporosis or other chronic diseases, then you will have to walk twice as long in a cast.
The healing time is also affected by the correct application of the plaster and its fixation. Folds, kinks, and even layers reinforced in the area of additional load on the bone should not be allowed. Plaster can be applied without pads (for short-term wear) or with a cotton layer (for long-term use).
No matter how long you have to wear a cast, a month or four, you will have to live with it for that time, which means putting up with some inconveniences. The first enemy is water. It is necessary to avoid getting moisture on the plaster, so difficulties arise with hygiene procedures. You can use modern water-repellent materials and sew a special bag from such fabric into which to place the sore limb during water procedures. The second nuance is limited movement, but you need to walk to maintain muscle activity. You can use crutches and sticks for these purposes, which will take on the main load. However, you should not put too much strain on your leg; refrain from sudden movements.
A person’s incapacity for work after bone injuries, which are accompanied by fractures of various types, is documented by the attending physician. If an ankle is broken, a sick leave certificate is issued for ten days, then, by decision of the medical commission, it is extended for another thirty days. If the injury is complex and the bone and tissue do not heal well, then you can extend the sick leave further. Without going to work, a person has the right to remain on paid leave due to temporary disability for no more than one hundred and twenty days. If there is a need, then, on the recommendation of the attending physician, the medical commission can extend the patient’s sick leave for another 120 days, or temporary disability can be issued.
A non-displaced fracture of the radius is one of the most common injuries. When losing balance, the hand instinctively reaches forward to mitigate the consequences, but often the fall is unsuccessful and an open or closed fracture of the beam occurs.
It is important to know how to distinguish a fracture of the radius from a dislocation and how to provide first aid. Study information about the characteristics of the injury, classification, duration of wearing a plaster cast, methods of treatment and rehabilitation.
An incomplete fracture in the area of the radius is a consequence of a fall on a straight arm or injury to the hand during an accident. Injuries often occur in healthy young people during active sports, including extreme sports.
According to statistics, various types of radial fractures were recorded in 15% of patients who visited a traumatologist. The problem often occurs in children during active outdoor play. At an early age, bones heal faster, but parents have to constantly monitor the behavior of the child, who often tries to get rid of the fixing bandage.
The insidiousness of a closed fracture of the radius without displacement is in the rather weak manifestation of signs of injury. Working capacity is preserved, the patient often does not attach importance to the symptoms, which indicate not a dislocation or sprain of the ligaments, but a dangerous damage to the bone tissue.
A person relies on lotions, compresses, homemade and pharmacy ointments, and waits for the “dislocation” to go away. Traumatologists often see patients who untimely seek help with damage to the radius.
Look at a selection of effective methods for treating dorsopathy of the lumbosacral spine.
Read about the characteristic symptoms and treatment of Koenig's disease of the knee joint at this address.
Signs that, if they appear after a fall or severe injury, are time to go to the doctor:
The fracture zone depends on the position of the hand at the time of the fall, and other factors in which a force was applied that exceeded the strength of the bone.
Traumatologists distinguish three types of damage to areas of the radius:
With severe trauma, a comminuted fracture develops. In this type of beam injury, the broken bone is divided into 3 or more fragments.
Based on the degree of skin damage, there are:
Examination of the patient using modern equipment will help confirm or refute the suspicion of a closed fracture in the area of the radius. First, the doctor examines the problem area, finds out the patient’s complaints (what is the nature, intensity of the pain), then sends for radiography (required, two projections).
The full picture of the injury is visible after magnetic resonance imaging. In the photographs, the doctor will examine all areas of the problem joint and see the damage to the soft tissues.
Before visiting a traumatologist or the arrival of an ambulance, it is important to act correctly to prevent complications. Lack of panic, clear, competent movements bring a lot of benefits to the victim.
In the absence of displacement of bone fragments, conservative treatment is recommended. An unpleasant but effective method of therapy is the application of a plaster splint to fix the affected areas and properly heal the broken bone.
The patient should know an important point: the cast is applied only to the base of the fingers. Inexperienced doctors often make the mistake of limiting the mobility of the entire limb, right down to the fingertips. With this method of fixation, the muscles quickly atrophy, the fingers do not bend even 5–6 months after treatment.
The duration of therapy is determined by a traumatologist. You should not ask the doctor to remove the plaster cast as soon as possible: the bone must recover completely. The patient's lack of discipline and attempts to move the cast often result in displacement of bone fragments, the need to re-apply the bandage, and a sharp increase in the duration of therapy.
A fracture of the wrist joint does not always go away without a trace: echoes of the injury often make themselves felt years later. Some patients experience a difficult rehabilitation period, poor bone healing, and soft tissue damage. Penetration of infection into the wound, bone weakness, inflammatory process in the body are factors that increase the risk of complications.
Most often, traumatologists identify the following negative processes:
This is a question that concerns most patients. A plaster splint causes discomfort, limits mobility, and is irritating, especially in the heat.
The duration of use of the fixation bandage depends on several factors:

The period of wearing a plaster cast does not always go smoothly: lack of movement and strong fixation provokes compression of nerves, soft tissues, and blood vessels. It is important to understand in time that a problem has arisen under a dense fixing layer.

Even in the first days after injury to the radial hand, procedures are recommended that reduce tissue swelling. A good effect is shown by the influence of ultrasound, UHF heating.
A mandatory element of rehabilitation is light physical activity on the hand. While wearing a plaster cast, the muscles weaken due to lack of movement. Special gymnastics for the fingers and hand will help prevent muscle tissue atrophy. The optimal complex of exercise therapy will be selected by the doctor observing the patient.
After three to four weeks, the moment comes when the traumatologist allows the plaster to be removed. The absence of immobilization provides more opportunities to restore the functionality of the injured arm.

The main thing is that the attending physician indicates the exact date of removal, and after removal you should undergo a follow-up examination and decide on rehabilitation procedures, since the broken part of the body, regardless of whether it is a leg, arm or thigh, was in an atrophied state for quite a long time and after removal, It is difficult for her to perform her direct functions. The plaster was applied to a fixing bandage.
I myself broke down in 1989, although there were competitions there and I broke my ankle on the sandy circle of the landing area and broke off on the target, a weekend pilot was also present. By the way, what drugs were prescribed to speed up the course of biochemical processes?
Don't rush to remove the plaster. It would also be a mistake to rush into the air. Better sit with my dad on the slope and drink beer.
Today I started a (small) spring cleaning - in short, it turned out that one of the plaster of paris broke.
I took it off. And I took off the second one for symmetry. I wrapped myself in elastic bandages and walked slowly.
And the doctor said to wear it for 2-3 weeks, no less.
I won’t go to the doctor anymore - it’s expensive. But I’m a little afraid, so I’m wondering what the consequences might be from the fact that I’m walking on sore legs and have taken off the cast?
Or maybe it’s time to slowly develop it?
My example is torn ligaments in my left hand. I, like you, took off the plaster cast. I can demonstrate how and where my thumb goes.
and the train left. If it were fresh, it would have grown together, but now - figs!

I really want to do without a doctor.
I tied everything back. Although broken plaster does not fix it well.
But I’m not an expert, I had a sprain, I was in a cast for 2 weeks, a small one that you wash with.
Then I went for treatments - paraffin and massage
Posted August 16, 2012 — 2:36 pm Therefore, I really hope to receive competent advice here. Please tell me how serious is a screw-shaped fracture externally? When can you start walking?
When can I remove it and switch to an orthosis? Is it possible to kneel on a sore leg?
Is it possible to move your toes and keep your leg pubescent? I wanted to attach a photo, but I don't know how to do it here. Thanks in advance for your answer.
Each case is individual - for the patient, the period of wearing a cast is determined by many different factors, such as:

Is it bad if I removed the cast 5 days earlier?
And can you wrap it with an elastic bandage instead of plaster? (the hand doesn’t hurt!) What consequences could there be? Is it worth putting the plaster back on?) And there is draining of the pins and scratching in the finger. Thank you in advance.
So, you didn't harm yourself, that's for sure.
Perhaps, given your condition - perhaps not a fracture of the wrist bones - a bandage is indicated for you.
. or you didn’t understand something at all.
and yet you advise and approve the withdrawal without seeing any possible serious complications. .
No plaster needed. . no vaccinations needed. . doctors are freaks. . and Khutin is Pui.
The tibia and talus bones form the ankle joint. The outer malleolus refers to the fibula, the inner malleolus to the tibia. Often a person is injured on the outer ankle, very rarely on the inner ankle, or both at once. It is dangerous when two ankles are fractured at once; problems with the tibia are observed. This type of injury is called a tri-malleolar injury.
It’s difficult for a person when, in addition to a fracture, there is also a dislocation of the foot. In this case, it is necessary to install a plaster cast. In cases of a fracture, when the fragments are displaced and the foot is dislocated, it is necessary for the doctor to set it, then correctly align the carpal fragments, and then apply a plaster cast. Surgery is often required. The bandage is fixed depending on the type of fracture - 1-3 months. Only a doctor can remove the bandage; it is prohibited to do this on your own ahead of time.
Please note that regardless of what type of fracture, what treatment methods were used, whether there is plaster or not, it is imperative to restore mobility in the limbs, for this to undergo a rehabilitation course.
1. For the first 3 days after you have been put in a cast, you need to remain calm, you cannot get up, and adhere to bed rest.
2. Take painkillers.
3. Your legs should be higher than your body; place a pillow under them.
4. On the first day, it is recommended to use a cold compress on areas where there is no plaster, you can do it on top.
5. Often, two days after the injury, severe swelling occurs; to alleviate the condition, you need to use dry heat - a heating pad, a bag of warm salt, its temperature should not exceed 38 degrees. The procedure takes up to 15 minutes.
6. Taking medications to relieve swelling.
7. On days 3-5, the swelling becomes maximum, then it begins to subside and pain disappears with it.
1. Bend your leg at the knees and at the hip joint; there is no need to tear it off. Repeat up to 8 times. Then tear off only the heel.
2. Bend your knees and rotate your foot clockwise up to 8 times, then repeat only counterclockwise.
3. Bending the leg at a right angle, extend it as much as possible. Repeat up to 8 times.
1. It is very important to monitor the condition of your toes; they should not be cold, and in no case should they lose sensitivity.
2. The toes should move fully.
3. The plaster should not be pressed or rubbed.
4. If the swelling does not subside after 4 days, you should definitely consult with your doctor, this indicates serious complications.
5. In the first week, you need to learn to move with the help of crutches and walkers; constant care is not needed, it is best to do this yourself, so the bones and muscles do not atrophy.
6. On the 6th day, you need to actively move your toes on the sore leg, while bending your legs at the knees and hip joints.
7. Try sitting up on your own and lowering your legs from the bed.
8. After a month, a person can already walk to the clinic with the help of crutches.
9. You need to move as much as possible.
It is very important to use an elastic bandage or bandage after the doctor has removed the bandage and taken an x-ray. It must be applied in the morning, immediately after waking up, the leg should not be swollen.
For some time, the bandage will be necessary if you need to do work at home or visit your doctor yourself. When you rest, you need to remove the bandage and place your leg on a pillow, this way you can improve blood circulation. It is also very important to apply ointments and compresses at this time. Rest for at least an hour, use compresses.
When the pain decreases and the swelling begins to subside, start moving as much as possible; if this is difficult to do, lean on a cane. Be sure to follow this regimen for the first few days after the cast is removed:
1. Do exercises in the morning, use a bottle of hot water for them. The plug must be tightly closed. You need to roll it with your foot for up to 10 minutes. Then rub in the ointment. When you have rested a little, you need to bandage your leg.
2. You can use crutches as support to walk as much as possible during the day.
3. Rest, rub in the ointment, get rid of the bandage, then after resting, put it on again.
4. Warm the foot with dry heat for up to 15 minutes, then apply ointment.
5. Compresses with alcohol, for this you need to take 96% alcohol, water, vegetable oil. Moisten gauze and apply to the affected area.
6. A magnet and UHF help a lot.
7. Water procedures are an effective method of rehabilitation; they must be performed up to three times a day. You can make such a bath yourself: dissolve sea salt in a liter of water.
If you follow all the rules during the rehabilitation period, after the plaster is removed, the swelling will quickly begin to subside, the ankle joint will quickly recover, and it will be much easier to move it.
In cases where the work is hard, it will be difficult for a person to recover, if the physical activity is not so intense, rehabilitation will take no more than one month.
Thus, an ankle fracture is a common injury that can damage the bone that is responsible for the ankle joint. Often this injury leads to muscle rupture and ligaments. It is very important not only to start treatment in a timely manner, but also to complete a full course of rehabilitation. It must necessarily consist of rest, walks in the fresh air, physical exercise, water procedures, baths, the use of lotions, compresses, ointments and all medications necessary for a quick recovery. If all the rules are not followed, serious problems may arise in the future, the bone will not heal and motor function will be impaired.
