Specializes in Podiatry

After cast: After cast removal, typically you may begin transition with walking, sometimes with a cam walker type boot. Also physical therapy is recommended as you can see your calf is probably very thin comparedto the other side so you are very weak. It takes a while to transition from cast to boot to shoe.
