I use 3M Scotchcast soft cast for stabilizing acute joint injuries, such as ankle sprains, by applying a covering of 3" soft cast from the base of the toes to the base of the calf. Heel locks and a figure "8" are used to stiffen the joint area.

CONT

Pour le membre inférieur nous utilisons volontiers des bas élastiques à varices [...] Si une mise au repos des lésions est nécessaire pour leur cicatrisation, on utilise les contentions souples auto-collantes, les orthèses et plâtres articulés si un certain degré d'amplitude est permis. Quand l'immobilisation doit rester stricte, on place un plâtre circulaire ou une attelle.
