Tone Reduction Modifications Include:
- Squaring and leveling the plantar surface of the cast
- Adding 5 mm (3/16") build-ups to the medial and lateral malleoli. This will increase the overall ML by 10 mm (3/8")
- Adding 3 mm (1/8") build-ups to the navicular and calcaneal tuberosity
- Modifying the plantar surface of the cast to a depth of 10 mm
- If the order calls for a raised forefoot trimline, 3 mm will be added to the MTP joint that is being covered by plastic
- Adding 3 mm build-ups will be added to any marked bony areas
