Post-tenotomy casts question

[Guest guest]

My doctor keeps the post-tenotomy casts on for 4 weeks instead of the

normal 3 weeks. Has anyone had their doctor keep these casts on for

this long? I don't think one additional week will do any harm.

They've followed the technique without any other modification. We're

considering requesting a cast change at two weeks just to accomodate

her rapid growth as well as to break up the extended time frame. Any

thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks,

Hayden had his casts on for four weeks as our doctor was away when the three

weeks was up. He did just fine, but Dr. Pirani told us if he had any problems

to go to the cast clinic and have them changed.
