title: [The polyurethane shoe -- a new possibility in the treatment of the toe and metatarsal fractures (author's transl)].
abstract: The problem of supporting casts in the treatment of metatarsal and toe fractures is discussed. A therapeutic enrichment is given by a new polyurethane cast, the so-called PU-shoe, which can even be worn in a little wider than normal ready-made shoe. The proedure is demonstrated with some clinical examples.
