A member asked:
What type of cast is used for mid tibia spiral fracture that is not displaced and is good alignment for an adult?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A mid tibia spiral fracture that is not displaced and is in good alignment for an adult is typically treated with a non-operative approach using a below-knee cast. This type of cast immobilizes the ankle and foot, allowing for proper healing of the fracture site
