Answers:
I think that the idea behind those walking casts is to use crutches and be kind of hopping along with the heel resting on the ground - That's how I used mine!.

Most of the time, the doctor will tell you to not use it as a walking cast a tfirst and then after a check-up will check if the leg is okay to be weight bearing!. if it is then they will tell you!.

If in any doubt, speak to your doctor!.

I have never had a walking cast, always been on crutches!. From what I have seen is to walk heel to toe, and avoid the urge to twist your leg when it is behind!. That could put pressure on the fracture or cause mis-alignment!. We girls are lucky in that we can wear a heel on the good foot to make up for the added length!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
