Yes: If the goal or purpose of casting is immobilization then it will always immobilize to some degree. If the question is will a cast always heal an injury or a fracture the answer is not always...it depends on the injury and the person

Casting: They definitely can get loose. A little more information would be great. Definitely follow the cast care instructions they provided you with.
