Guest guest Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Hi everyone, When your children were first placed into their casts, did medical staff advise you not to lift your children by their casts? Has anyone else noticed how challenging it can be to lift a toddler in a cast without disclocating the child's shoulders? Has anyone encountered or heard of a child's casting being affected by someone lifting him or her by the cast? Could that render the treatment ineffective?? Just wondering...

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Hi there. My son, , is in his first cast right now. My husband asked that very question. Our doctor, Dr. C, at Shriner's in Philly assured us that it was no problem. He is very experienced in the Mehta casting process. He said that the cast was snug enough to not be moved/twisted by simply lifting the child. Hope that helps!
