Does your cast stink?

If you have been one of those unlucky people that have had to wear either a cast or splint, then you know how badly a traditional cast can smell. After breaking a bone, patients will have to wear a cast or splint for around 6-12 weeks, depending on the severity of the injury. After a few weeks of wearing your cast, patients will start to notice something odiferous coming from their cast. The typical stinky cast or as some people call it, cast rot is an odor that is produced from the moisture trapped inside of the cast. The moisture either comes from sweat or from accidentally trapping water in it. Once moisture gets into a cast, the only true way to definitively get rid of the smell is to have the cast/splint replaced. That means another expensive visit to the doctor and having to have the old cast removed and a new one put on. Since it is the hottest of summer, trying to keep it dry is a chore in itself.
