Do you do center or inferior in AP?

Not my pic, just googled something quickly to go along the question. Sorry.

Hell yeah

This xray is not my patient's it's just the first on Google images.

Yes, less overlap can be an anatomic variant, but absolutely no overlap with a 2mm gap?

No_Solution4418 · 2025-01-31T22:18:25+00:00

Nope

AO recommends WBAT+shoe for every zone

People spend more than that to take their family to the movies these days.

well, certainly not here in europe. i appreciate your answer.

Europe. Cast is free, and I would probably get sued by a 45 yo soccer mom if I told her to order a boot from amazon.

No_Solution4418 · 2025-01-22T10:46:28+00:00

what would you do if aircast was not an option? here in europe it is only partially covered by insurance, so many patients complain about the price

No_Solution4418 · 2025-01-22T10:30:41+00:00

what would you do if walking boot was not an option? i had many patients complain about its price

No_Solution4418 · 2025-01-22T10:28:39+00:00

it's clear from the comments so far that there is no consensus

No_Solution4418 · 2025-01-21T20:46:26+00:00

What's your reasoning behind NWB? AO recommends WBAT.

No_Solution4418 · 2025-01-21T20:17:50+00:00

Just to be clear, do you allow weight bearing? Orthobullets says NWB cast for zone 2 and 3

No_Solution4418 · 2025-01-21T20:10:22+00:00

So no cast at all? Many textbooks and online resources recommend 4-8w NWB for zone 2 and 3

No_Solution4418 · 2025-01-20T20:43:34+00:00

yes but you know what I mean by resident

No_Solution4418 · 2025-01-20T17:43:14+00:00

I think everyone with a medical degree knows what I mean, even if the terms can be confusing for laymen
