Review on Orlett Ankle brace LAB-201, size M, black by Mateusz Gniazdowski ᠌

The surgeon agreed to remove the cast and recommended this orthosis, although she asked for something more monumental) said that it would be the easiest for my fracture (anterior calcaneus, without displacement and cuboid at the junction). So I started wearing it a week after the injury. The main advantages are lightness and simplicity of design. But I need to control my leg, the orthosis does not give complete and rigid fixation like plaster, I am always afraid to bend it. It should only be worn on the toe. Pluses in lightness and the ability to remove. You can wash yourself, smear your leg with ointment from bruises and swelling. It is easier to hold the leg, because it is on weight (you can’t step on the leg for at least 4 weeks) and the leg is not so tired when walking on crutches. Of the minuses, the first time I took it off to spread the gel on my leg. I was horrified - the laces left deep marks on the skin, although the surgeon did not tighten it so much that it would not disturb the blood flow. Deep mark from the edge of the cut on the lower leg. And this is after 2 days of wearing, although you can stick a finger between the lower leg and the edge of the cut. Tightened stronger of course in the area of ​​rise. I don’t understand why there is a cutout for the heel, everything around also cuts into the skin. If the manufacturer on the adult version of the orthosis would make Velcro like the children's version, it would be just super.
