Precautions:

Pain in the area of the ankle bone or on the sole of the foot is a clear indication of the incorrect position of the stabilizer. This can be remedied by reshaping the stabilizer or replacing it. If necessary, consult your physician to avoid skin damage and pressure sores. Wear a suitable shoe, such as our Fixation Cast Shoe, or a sock to prevent direct contact with the part made from synthetic material because of its surface structure.
