A member asked:
Is it possible to sprain or injure ankle (or any part of the protected leg) if the leg from calf to toes is in a cast (for 6 weeks and counting) and i fell on the side my cast is on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It possible to injure yourself even if the extremity is in a cast. If the cast is poorly fitted it could be possible. If concerns have cast removed and X-ray. Only way to be definitive
