No, the cast will get wet and it will not be good for the fracture.

It is recommended not to touch the water when bathing. Consider a scrub bath or a bath that avoids the plaster cast.

The plaster is fixed externally, and the plaster does not touch the water when bathing.

If there is a wound, not only should the plaster cast be taken care of, but the wound should not be wet.

If you take a shower, first find a long plastic bag to put the plaster leg in, tie the upper mouth with a strap, move a higher stool to sit on it and wash it, it is best not to let the water directly rush to the injured leg, so as not to seep in the water and cause wound infection, if the washing time is too long, the strap of the leggings should be loosened every once in a while, so that the blood circulation.

If you wash the basin, the water can not be filled too much, people can lie in it and spread over the body, and put a shelf above the basin to put the injured leg on it, but it is best to put the injured leg in a plastic bag, so as not to soak the plaster with water vapor.
