are casts a thing of the past?

[Guest guest]

Hi, all.

I've asked a couple of individuals about this, but would like to check with the

group as well.

As many of you, I had a (walking) body cast for about nine months after my

surgery in the early 80's. Prior to the cast, I was in a Stryker frame bed for

about two weeks, being flipped regularly.

What happens post-revision surgery? Is anyone being put in stabilization

devices of any kind, as happened with casts in " the old days " ? So far, the

folks I've talked to have not had casts or any other torso-restricting device

post-revision.

Very interested in your experiences-

Thanks so much,
