Can aircast be removed for chipped ankle bone while sleeping?

Whether an air cast can be removed while sleeping depends on the specific ankle fracture you have and the treatment recommendations from your healthcare provider. Generally speaking, for a chipped ankle bone (lateral malleolus fracture), you may need to wear the air cast or other immobilization device as directed by your provider, even while sleeping. It's important to follow the instructions given by your healthcare team to ensure proper healing and prevent any potential complications.
