A cylinder knee cast is a type of orthopedic cast that encases the leg from just above the knee to the ankle, providing support and immobilization for injuries or post-surgical recovery in that area. It is typically made of plaster or fiberglass and is designed to maintain proper alignment of the knee joint while allowing for some stability in the lower leg. This cast is commonly used for fractures, ligament injuries, or after knee surgeries. The cylinder shape allows for easier mobility and weight-bearing, compared to other types of casts.

First, the knee by itself cannot be put into a cast. Casting an arm won't help a leg, since the tibia is the inner and larger bone between the knee and the ankle. So the cast must go from above the knee to below the ankle.

What happens if a cat's dislocated knee doesn't stay in after removal of the supporting cast?

Replacing the knee into position and using a support cast or splint to allow the ligaments to heal is the conservative treatment approach. If the knee doesn't stay stable after the cast is removed, the next option is to try surgical correction via placement of surgical line as a surrogate for the ligaments. This can be expensive, but the success rate is pretty high.
