    34 and I fell on uneven sidewalk ended up in Urgent Care. Just tried bending my knuckles and said OWW!! Thursday seeing Orthopedic to get it out of sling and into cast. I'm tempted to get an arm sling to hold my arm in place as it constantly hurts nonstop. X Rays showed I have a fracture snuff box???

    I was given conservative management having suffered a complex butterfly fracture. Almost three weeks of severe pain until the follow up X-ray which showed increased damage. I can’t express how much better I feel now that I’ve had a pin inserted through the bone. Only 4 days post op, still in pain, but I’d recommend the plate/pin…… it’s a nasty injury!

    What about 11 year olds with a buckle fracture? What is an ETA on when they can catch a baseball again or swing a bat? Poor son had a bike incident right before opening day for little league and travel ball. If there is no pain or can handle pain, what are the risks that those 2 actions can cause it to break more or injure it more after 4 weeks? Sadly ortho hasn't given us much info/direction.

    My 8 yr old just broke his right at the bottom of the bone at the top of the arm right at the end by the elbow, it went to the opposite side so his bone looked twisted and his nerves stretched. He had surgery and 2 pins put in He didn't scream or cry and he can't cross his fingers or do a thumbs up yet he's got nerve damage hopefully it heals, it's been 2 weeks still nothing. The ER left his arm hanging for 2 hours before giving his arm any stability. I took him to children's which said they shouldn't of allowed his arm to hang that way his elbow was in the front of the arm. He flipped over his handle bars that's how the injury happened, the Drs said it's a very severe injury. He's been so positive throughout this entire ordeal, I'm in aww of him. The fact he didn't cry or scream ever, and I kept waiting for it and it never came, they said he was in shock. He walked home with his after it happened came in calm like I broke it ik it's broke, I freaked out and I tried not to but seeing your child that way is unbelievable.

    Fractured mine saw your video day I went to urgent care. I kept it splinted till I saw my doctor today 4 days later. He told me the same exact thing you are saying here. Keeping it splinted does more damage stiffness. I have been icing and stretching a little everyday. Now after seeing doctor and him saying it’s not that bad I’ll continue but more aggressively since he gave me the go ahead. Great video.

    Hii , I'm (age 30) going through mid shaft humerus bone fracture..till the accident day i was unaware of operative surgery .i was panic at that moment and doctor discussed with my father and decided to go with non operative treatment... 3 months gone and physiotherapy is going on from few days ..still the gap between fracture is 4mm..radial nerve is working superb since accident day(wrist completely working and able to lift half to one kg weight) but I cant take my hand up completely...elbow movement is 50% stiffed ..all my friends who suffered from fracture or are doctors are advising for surgery..bt doct telling that it may take 3-4 more months to heal... Bt physio telling to go for surgery.. no issue from shoulder and wrist ..only bone broke.... Healing depends on type of fracture.. horizontal or vertical.. plz suggest ur opinion on conservative nonoperative treatment and on my doubts too....plz
