Frequently Asked Questions — DeRoyal One Piece Samson Walker
What conditions is the DeRoyal Samson Walker used for?
The Samson Walker is indicated for moderate to severe ankle sprains and strains, stable foot and ankle fractures, syndesmosis (high ankle) sprains, post-ORIF recovery, and Achilles tendonitis. It maintains the foot and ankle at 90° and offloads abnormal pressure during healing.
What is the difference between the Standard and Low Top Samson Walker?
The Standard profile provides greater ankle immobilization and is preferred for severe injuries or post-surgical protocols. The Low Top profile sits lower on the leg, making it easier to don and doff, and is ideal for mild-to-moderate injuries or patients transitioning out of a cast. Your physician will prescribe the appropriate profile.
How long do I need to wear a CAM walker after an ankle fracture?
Most stable ankle fractures require 4–8 weeks in a CAM walker, with weight-bearing status progressing from non-weight-bearing to full weight-bearing as healing is confirmed on X-ray. Your physician will determine the appropriate wear schedule. Never modify your activity level without clearance.
Does the Samson Walker fit both feet?
Yes. The DeRoyal One Piece Samson Walker fits both the right and left foot — no separate left/right versions needed.
Is the DeRoyal Samson Walker FSA or HSA eligible?
Yes. The DeRoyal Samson Walker is a medical device and is generally FSA and HSA eligible. HCPCS code L4387 may apply — verify coverage with your insurance provider. OrthoTape does not bill insurance directly.
