I broke both legs in a van wreck a few years ago. The docs put me in fiberglass braces that were open on top but kept my legs straight and stable. They also gave me atrocious pressure sores on my heels, and both sides 0f the ankles and knees. They cut holes in the braces to relieve the pressure but it took nearly two years to heal the sores. Twas very bad. Beware hard casts...and good luck

I am not a doctor, but I have known a lot of SCI individuals who have broken their legs over the years and one thing is a constant, no hard cast. At least that's the case for the hospital here where there is overwhelming number of SCI patients.In fact, there are probably more than 60 SCI patients hospitalized at this very moment. I know there are at least 50.Quadius On 7/11/08, John S. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Ok, a hard cast?
