Rigid Total Contact Leg Cast

Texas rates for HCPCS 29445

A provider applies a rigid, custom-molded cast that fits closely around the entire lower leg and foot, distributing pressure evenly across the surface. It's most often used to protect and offload pressure from wounds on the bottom of the foot, such as those related to diabetes, while still allowing the person to walk. The close, total-contact fit is designed to prevent pressure from concentrating in any one spot.
