I broke my patella the growth plate and they applied a cylinder cast but then as my leg atrophied it was really loose and not fitting right so they cut it off and put a long leg cast on instead.
I recently broke my knee in two places one in the growth plate, will I need a long leg cast, a cylinder cast, or a hinged knee brace. They said I will get a hinge on the cast or brace. They said no cast was required, right now they said I can bend it even weightbear.
Doesn't your patella move when you stretch your ankle. I bet most doctors don't use cylinder casts anymore. I bet they use the same long leg cast like if you break your tibia.

@everestgirl13 BTW is any part of the ankle immobilized in the process of applying a cylinder leg cast.
