Air Cam Walker Fracture Boot for Foot and Ankle, Small, Black

The United Ortho Ankle Air Cam Walker Fracture Boot is designed to provide maximum stability and support following injury or post-operative procedures. This versatile walking boot can be used for a variety of conditions, including acute ankle sprains, soft tissue injuries, stable lower leg, foot and ankle fractures, and post-operative use. Suitable for either the left or right foot, the boot features several key components to promote natural and comfortable ambulation.

The plastic molded uprights are reinforced with steel, adding increased durability to the overall structure. The shock-absorbing insole helps to reduce the impact of heel strike when walking, while the rocker sole encourages a more natural gait pattern, allowing users to continue their daily activities. The boot is recommended for individuals up to 300 pounds.

Proper sizing is crucial for the effective functioning of the brace. Users are advised to refer to the size chart and follow the detailed fit guide, which can be found in the product images and video. For a more precise fit, the user's foot length should be the primary consideration.

If the user is near the maximum size on the chart, it is recommended to choose a larger size if any of the following apply: wearing a wide shoe, using bandages or thick socks, experiencing swelling, or preferring a looser fit. Conversely, a smaller size should be selected if the user is near the minimum size and they wear a narrow shoe, have slim feet, or typically prefer a tighter fit.

The process of properly applying the United Ortho Short Air Walker Fracture Boot involves several steps. First, the user should open all the straps and remove the liner from the boot. The user's foot should then be placed into the liner, ensuring that the heel is pushed all the way to the back. The liner should be snugly closed, starting from the toes.

Next, the foot with the liner inside should be placed into the boot, again making sure the heel is pushed fully to the back. The top strap should be attached and fastened once the foot is in the correct position. The remaining straps can then be fastened, starting from the toes and working upwards.

It is important to note that the user's toes may extend past the end of the liner. If this occurs, a larger size boot is recommended. Additionally, if any numbness, tingling, or other discomfort is experienced, the straps should be loosened until the issue is resolved. If the symptoms persist, the user should consult a medical professional.

To inflate the air liner, the user should turn the "inflate/deflate" knob clockwise until it stops, then press and release the blue air bulb several times until the desired level of support is achieved. The liner may expand during initial use, requiring additional pumps to return to the desired support level. To deflate the liner, the user should turn the knob counterclockwise until it stops.
