Splint or Cast for a Leg Deformity

Dr. Matthew Harb is a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon practicing in Washington D.C. Today we are going to talk about splint or casting for deformities. We usually use splints or casts to get fractures to heal. Here you can see the foot is out and the knee is in called valgus or knocked knees. This is a deformity and as an adult you need surgery to correct it. You can either cut the bone or you can perform and knee replacement to correct the deformity and arthritis.

I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!
