ABSTRACT:
A cast wedge for use in adjusting a tubular cast for maintaining predetermined spacing between opposite facing edges of a transverse cut made in the cast wall adjacent the area of the limb fracture. The wedge includes a body formed of molded, resinous plastic material that is radio-lucent having a wedge portion with opposite edges spaced a predetermined distance apart for direct engagement with the facing edges of the cut in the wall of the cast. Flanges are formed to extend outwardly and normal to the opposite edges of the wedge portion and the flanges have an inside surface engageable with the outer surface of the cast for limiting the inward travel of the wedge portion into the interior of the cast.
