Cast Care
When your child or youth breaks a bone, they often need to have a cast put on to hold the bones in proper position while they heal. Casts are also helpful for reducing pain during the healing process. Casts are custom- made for every single child and youth who visits CHEO.
Below you will find resources to help you better understand, cope with and/or support someone with a cast.
