How loose should my leg cast be?

How heavy is leg and torso cast?

  • my son may have operation to fix leg break which will result in leg, torso and half leg in cast. can anyone advice?

  • Answer:

    It depends on the size of the rolls used in casting and if they're fiberglass or plaster. Either way, they're pretty heavy. Fiberglass is lighter. I'm in 2 long leg casts (toes to crotch) and I've been told each one of my casts is 9 lbs (they're fiberglass with 3 inch rolls, most common technique)
