To reduce the risk of spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-۱۹), the emerging protocols are advising for less physicianpatientcontact, shortening the contact time, and keeping a safe distance. It is recommended that unnecessary castingbe avoided in the events that alternative methods can be applied such as in stable ankle fractures, and hindfoot/midfoot/forefoot injuries. Fiberglass casts are suboptimal because they require a follow up for cast removal while aconventional plaster cast is amenable to self-removal by submerging in water and cutting the cotton bandages withscissors. At present, only fiberglass casts are widely available to allow waterproof casting. To reduce the contact timeduring casting, a custom-made ۳D printed casts/splints can be ordered remotely which reduces the number of visitsand shortens the contact time while it allows for self-removal by the patient. The cast is printed after the limb is ۳Dscanned in ۵-۱۰ seconds using the commercially available ۳D scanners. In contrast to the conventional casting, a ۳Dprinted cast/splint is washable which is an advantage during an infectious crisis such as the COVID-۱۹ pandemic.Level of evidence: V
