From the orthopaedic dictionary!

Delbet walking cast:

A protective plaster device applied either during traction or at a later point in the fracture healing process.This cast is used in tibia fracture to allow weight bearing as well as knee and ankle motion. It is made of a series of overlapping plaster splints molded for weight bearing on the tibial condyles.
