Frequently Asked Questions — DeRoyal Tracker EX CAM Walker Boot
What is a non-inflated CAM walker boot and how does it work?
A non-inflated CAM (Controlled Ankle Motion) walker boot uses a rigid outer shell and a wrap system to immobilize the foot and ankle — no pump or bladder required. The rocker-style sole allows a more natural walking gait while keeping the ankle stable. The DeRoyal Tracker EX is ready to wear immediately out of the box, making it one of the simplest and lightest fracture boots available. Unlike a plaster cast, it can be removed for bathing and physical therapy as directed by your clinician.
Should I choose the Standard (Tall) or Short boot?
Always follow your doctor's recommendation. As a general guide: the Standard (Tall) boot is best for ankle fractures, high ankle sprains, and Achilles tendon injuries that need full lower leg support. The Short (Low-Top) boot is better suited for foot fractures, forefoot injuries, and conditions where you need more calf freedom. When in doubt, the Standard (Tall) is the most commonly prescribed option.
What conditions is a CAM walker boot used for after surgery or a fracture diagnosis?
A CAM walker boot is prescribed for ankle fractures, Grade II and Grade III ankle sprains, syndesmosis (high ankle) sprains, metatarsal fractures, Achilles tendon injuries, and post-surgical recovery including post-ORIF. The rocker sole allows a natural gait while keeping the ankle stable and protected during healing. Your orthopedic surgeon or podiatrist will specify the appropriate boot height and wear duration based on your diagnosis.
How long do I need to wear a CAM walker boot after a fracture?
Wear duration depends on the type and severity of your fracture. Most stable foot and ankle fractures require 4–8 weeks in a CAM walker boot. Your orthopedic surgeon or podiatrist will monitor healing via X-ray and advise when it is safe to transition out of the boot. Never discontinue use without medical clearance.
Is the DeRoyal Tracker EX FSA or HSA eligible?
Yes. The DeRoyal Tracker EX is a medical device and is generally FSA (Flexible Spending Account) and HSA (Health Savings Account) eligible. HCPCS code L4387 may apply — verify coverage with your insurance provider. OrthoTape does not bill insurance directly.
