My son broke his arm last friday the elbow actually, we went to the fracture clinic the following thursday where they said it would need to operated on, they took of the half caste they had done on the friday of the accident, he is waiting for a ct scan then appointment to have pins put in his arm, is it right that hes walking around with this broken arm without it being supported in any way until the op?
Hello Thank you for using Chat Doctor I read your question and understood your concern I think your son shouldn't walk with the arm not immobilized with anything until the day of operation. He should have the arm wrapped with some kind of immobilization such as cast or splint
