Patient's question:
Medical Description: On August 13, 2010, the child jumped from a height and landed on the ground. X-rays showed a wrist fracture. Treatment history and effectiveness: Good results after reduction, immobilized with a cast. What kind of help is desired: How long can the child go back to school and write?Doctor's answer:
After a arm fracture, it generally takes three months for the bone to fully heal. If surgery is performed, it is important to follow up on schedule. If a cast is applied for external fixation, it should be worn for at least one month. If the initial fixation is not firm enough, there is a possibility of non-union or delayed union of the fracture. If these situations occur, it cannot be determined how long the recovery will take. Generally speaking, it takes 1 to 2 months to return to school, but the affected limb should not be used for activities. Additionally, the severity of the fracture should be taken into account. Pay attention to dietary nutrition, ensuring adequate calcium and protein intake.
