What are the benefits of an air cast on your ankle after surgery for torn ligament in the ankle?


i had torn ligaments in ankle playing soccer and had cast on ankle 3 weeks prior to surgery and then had surgery and in a cast for 6 weeks after surgery. Doctor told me to wear air cast during physical acitivity and while playing soccer. He told me to put air cast under shin guard to help prevent further injuries. Will this help prevent injuries?

Yes.An Aircast keeps your ankle from moving side to side too much,so you won't sprain it.I'm not sure how you can wear the Aircast with the shin guard though...I can't imagine it fitting right,especially in your shoes..
