Hairline fracture

2024-02-02 17:02:59
2 weeks back I slipped n fell on my elbow.. the reports said suspected hairline fracture on the outer side of my elbow joint. The doctor in charge has put a plaster from my upper arm till my hand ... I am having doubts whether plaster was really required or not since I was able to move my hand even after the fracture happened . Amd how much time will it take for the plaster to come out ??? Should I go for a second opinion ?? It's getting very difficult to manage since he has wrapped 3 toles of the plaster on my hand
