Efficacy of Leg Casts With Heel Off-loaded in Children

Splints have been made by wrapping synthetic bandages around a leg-foot manufactured splint padded at the heel to off-load the heel. When the desired shape has been obtained, the splint is opened and the manufactured device is removed, thus obtaining a device that is used under the casts of lower limbs.

To avoid pressure at the heel placing and maintaining the limb with the cast on cushions or folded sheets so that the heel is not resting on the bed plane
