Can I Just Protect The Incisions With Guaze And Put On The Air Cast?
I recently broke my ankle in two places outside and inside, no tendon damage, I got the staples out after two weeks and got an air cast. My question is do I need to use an ace banfage with the air cast or can I just protect the incisions with guaze and just put on the air cast?

Hi,
there is no need for you to put bandage after 2 weeks as the incision wound might have healed.
you can directly put on the air cast. In case you need an extra cushion, you may use some gauze.
Hope this answers your query.
wishing you a quick recovery,
take care
