Non-Weightbearing In Cam Boots After Foot/Ankle Fracture Fixation: Are Patients Compliant?, Amos Z. Dai, Michelle Regan, Megan Paulus
Stony Brook Orthopaedic and Musculoskeletal Journal
Background: The controlled ankle motion (CAM) boot has become an integral part of the management of both operative and nonoperative foot and ankle conditions. Similar to casts, CAM boots are used to immobilize the foot and ankle after injury or surgery. However, unlike casts, CAM boots can be readily removed for showering and range of motion (ROM) exercises. While CAM boots are well-designed for ambulation and are frequently utilized in early weightbearing (WB) and early ROM protocols, their usage in non-weightbearing (NWB) protocols is less clear.
Purpose: The purpose of the current study is to determine the patient compliance rate …
