ask the podiatrist. no one can really address this question than the medical professional that made this decision. i agree that a full leg air cast is a bit excessive so he will need to offer you a reasonable explanation.
why did the podiatrist give me a full leg air cast for mild turf toe? . i have the best insurance possible 100% coverage highmark bluecross blueshield - ppo blue. did they do this just to get more money for themselves? i know that they have smaller air casts that come to mid calf. this just seems very unnecessary
