title: The plaster slipper cast.
abstract: Since cast correction of congenital metatarsus adductus requires purchase of the cast on the foot only, a plastic slipper cast can accomplish this task. The correction of deformity and retainability equals or exceeds that of the short-leg cast. Ease of application and removal make this cast quite attractive in the small child. The use of this cast can be extrapolated to many conditions.
