 Cast removal is a simple procedure which takes only 15 minutes and is painless. You need to wear loose clothing on the day of cast removal and carry any prescriptions and reports. During the procedure, the cast on your limb is removed using a cast saw which is an oscillating par tool that uses a small toothed blade rapidly vibrating over a small angle. The saw does not cut the skin but the blade may get heated up during the procedure which may cause slight discomfort. You may also feel a slight tickling sensation. A special scissor is used to finally cut the cast off. The muscles of your limb may appear smaller since your movements were restricted in the cast. The area is cleaned with an antiseptic solution and a crepe bandage is applied. You will undergo an x-ray scan before the doctor can recommend physiotherapy for you.
