Not every visit with an orthopaedic doctor will result in surgery. In fact, your provider might suggest using an immobilizer or half cast.
Immobilizers may be used to correct or help certain injuries heal. Sprains, dislocations, injuries to the soft tissues and protecting surgical wounds are all common uses for an immobilizer.
Foot and ankle injuries can be devastating, but with the right treatment, many patients get back to normal activity without surgery. Dr. Rob Martin explains.
