Guidance for casting practice in the current COVID-19 pandemic

The BOA Casting Committee has written these guidelines to help with casting practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. The widespread nature of COVID-19 has led to concern about the safety of cast removal and discussion of the best strategies to adopt during that procedure. During COVID-19 there is also a need to reduce hospital attendances, so home management and fewer clinic visits are preferable where this is possible.
