A cylindrical cast is a plaster of paris or fiberlgass scaffolding applied from the ankle to the mid-femur for traction of injuries to the patella, or the distal femur. A cylindrical cast looks like a long leg cast but without the cast part on the foot or ankle, the reason why is because in a patellar injury you need to immobilize the bones above and below the break, so it doesn't really matter what the foot is doing as long as the leg and knee don't move it should be fine.
The metatarsals are technically the foot bones just beyond the ankle. They are between your ankle bones and the toes.
An ankle brace may be needed if one has a leg injury from a sports activity, or if a joint is loose or detached completely. As well, an ankle brace can be needed if one breaks a bone in the lower or upper foot.
