Apply stockinette from the knee to the foot. The cast length must exceedthe length of the AFO you are ordering. If we need to extend the length of thecast, the fit of the brace may be compromised.2. Place a piece of latex tubing under the stockinette. Insert a cuttingtube beneath the stockinette. This should follow a line down the anterolateralaspect of the leg, beginning at the top of the stockinette and extending ontothe dorsum of the foot. Be certain the tube does not go directly over the tibialcrest or the fibular head.3. Outline bony landmarks. On the stockinette, use an indelible blue pencilto outline any applicable bony prominences. These may include the tibialcrest, fibular head, ankle, met heads, navicular, etc.4. Take a weight bearing cast and apply posting. The foot and anklecomplex, at least, must be casted under weight bearing conditions so thatthe foot spreads adequately, and the subtalar joint assumes its proper weightbearing attitude. If a heel or forefoot post is desired, the leg must be castedwith the appropriate post attached to the cast. This procedure will ensure thatthe orthosis is made with the correct subtalar angulation and proper foot width.5. Use SYNTHETIC CASTING MATERIAL ONLY. The cast should bewrapped at least three layers thick. One to two rolls of five inch wide syntheticcasting tape is sufficient for most legs.6. Mark the cast for removal. Mark along the length of the surgical tube, andmake hash marks at two inch intervals along the tube. This will enable us tomatch the cut edges when sealing the cast.7. Cut the cast along the tube. Using a cast cutter, cut the cast along thecutting tube. Using bandage scissors, cut the stockinette along this same line.8. Remove the cast. Spread the cast and remove it from the patient’s limb.Try not to distort the cast too much. Remove the stockinette from inside thecast, and tape or staple the cast closed.9. Write the patient’s name and your office phone number on thecast. Be certain to include this basic information on the cast itself. This way, ifthe order form gets separated from the cast, or lost entirely, we will be able tocontact you for fabrication instructions.Open Heel(graphite footplate, only)Full Heel (Closed)Half Heel (graphite(graphite footplate, only)10.
