Abstract

While pediatric hip spica casting is an invaluable tool to treat hip and femur conditions, effectively waterproofing the cast has represented a persistent challenge for the orthopaedist. We describe a simple technique that uses duct tape to allow for better waterproofing in the hopes of limiting unnecessary cast changes and skin complications.
