Designated knee cast

A designated knee cast is a specially fitted immobilization device used to stabilize the knee following injury or surgery. It encases the knee and part of the leg, keeping the joint in a specific position to promote healing and prevent movement that could worsen the injury. These casts are often made from lightweight, durable materials like plaster or fiberglass, and are customized to fit the patient's limb precisely. The purpose is to provide support, reduce pain, and ensure proper alignment during recovery, allowing the tissues and bones to heal effectively.
