Postoperatively the feet were immobilized in short leg casts for 6 weeks. Evaluation was based on the appearance of the feet, the clinical symptoms and radiographic measurements. Solid fusion and sustained correction took place in all feet. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Applying the casts in two parts, the short leg first and the above knee later, allows for more control during molding. Apply a thin, smooth layer of cast padding with extra padding on the bony prominences and the heel. [podiatrytoday.com]
