[Use of a semi-elastic synthetic cast in functional treatment of fresh injuries].
Functional treatment of injured joints is increasing since the introduction of semi-rigid plaster. Injuries to the ligaments of the ankle joint, ruptured Achilles tendon, but also other joints with injured ligaments are suitable for this therapy. We report about our experience of 120 treated ligamental injuries of the ankle joint, treated in a conservative way with semi-rigid plasters.
