Medical Orthopedic Boot For Broken Foot

The medical orthopedic boot is used to help you recover from a broken foot or ankle. Other terms often used are cam walker, fracture boot, cam boot or orthopedic boot. CAM stands for controlled ankle movement. It is used as a cast alternative and a transition from the walking cast after you suffer from a foot or ankle injury. There are three types of cam walkers and each is different based upon your particular injury. The adjustable inflated boot has an air bladder that inflates and can provide needed compression to help reduce swelling. The non inflated boot is often used if you do not have swelling and is more economical. The range of motion or ROM walker is used if you need to set your ankle at a particular angle or allow a certain range of motion.

What are the different types of Orthopedic Medical Boots

Non- Inflated Cam Boot - This type of med boot is often used when you do not have much swelling.
Inflated Cam Boot - This boot has a pneumatic bladder that helps provide needed compression for swelling.
