The child is two years old. The right humerus bone is fractured. Today is the 22nd day, and the cast has been removed. Can it be removed? The photos show that the recovery is very good. How should the next care be done?

Doctor's answer:

I am honored to explain your question. A humerus fracture generally requires fixation for 4 to 6 weeks. It's a bit short to have only 22 days so far. Under normal circumstances, complete recovery takes about three months. During this period, please pay attention not to let the child engage in strenuous exercise, rest properly, and enhance care. You can also take appropriate calcium supplements to promote bone healing. The above is advice on the question "How to care for a child's left humerus fracture." I hope it helps you.
