Cast application is the most effective way of conservative treatment of the undisplaced and hair line fractures. However, hairline fractures can be treated with appropriate braces with proper precautions.
Health Tips
• Limb elevation, Active/Passive finger/Toe movements. • Rest/Non-weight-bearing mobilization till further advice. • Watch for increased Swelling/Excessive pain/Toe or Finger discoloration/Fever. If present, visit the nearest hospital immediately.
