Which Medical Fracture Boot should you choose?

Cam Walkers (also known as, Medical boots, Fracture Boots, Air Cast, Cam Boot, Foot braces, Ankle Boot, Ankle Walker and a variety of other names) differ by either being non-inflated, pre-inflated or by having an adjustable bladder for inflation of the boot.

1. Adjustable inflation (often called Air Medical boots) allow the patient to inflate an air bladder to the needed compression for increased stabilization of their injury. Air Medical fracture boots accommodate different swelling patterns that often occur during the recovery process.
2. Pre-inflated   Medical fracture boots are at a fixed compression providing extra support.
3. Non-inflated Medical Boots have no inflatable bladder, but provide basic support for patients with minor injuries.
4. ROM (Range-of-Motion) This type of medical boot  allows the angle of the ankle to have a fixed set point or allows a range of movement between a set angle. This type of medical boot provides beyond 90 degrees of flex if needed. There is also a rocker bottom Medical boot, thus its name, which allows a natural rocking motion of your foot. You may need to ask your health care provide if the ankle needs to be fixed or allowed to move.
5. Medical Boots also differ by the base of the foot. Some are wide for a comfort fit and some have memory foam to conform to the foot. Medical fracture boots are also designed to fit either foot and come in HIGH and LOW top depending on your desired look.
