Abstract
A simplified method of total contact casting for diabetic plantar ulcerations is described in which a standard, well-molded short-leg walking cast is applied. Weekly cast changes are performed initially, followed by longer cast change intervals. Either fiberglass or plaster casting tape appears equally efficacious. Healing of all ulcers was demonstrated in 12 patients treated with this technique.
