How does a hinged cam walker work and aid during Achilles tendon healing?
I have experience with the VACOcast Achilles boot (www.vacocast.com) which is hinged and can be fixed in 30 or 15 degrees of plantar flexion (toes pointing downward in order to reduce tension on the Achilles tendon). When the ankle is fixed in plantar flexion, also known as equinus, it allows the injury to heal without risk of rupture or re-rupture. As the tendon heals, the orthopedic surgeon will gradually reduce the amount of equinus until the ankle is at neutral, or 90 degrees. This safely increases the amount of tension and avoids unwanted shortening of the Achilles tendon.
Should you use crutches or a walking boot for a sprained ankle?
The choice between crutches and a walking boot for a sprained ankle depends on the severity of the injury. Crutches can help keep weight off the affected ankle, providing mobility while allowing it to heal. A walking boot offers more support and stabilization for the ankle, which can be beneficial for moderate to severe sprains. It’s best to consult a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate option for your specific situation.
