Doubts regarding pop
My kid is 5 years old. On May 15 she fell from swing and got her leg fractured. Doctor has put pop. Again we went check up on may 25. He said swelling has reduced and again he has put new pop. My question is, now my kid is frequently lifting the fractured leg. Moving here and there. Not listening. How to explain her. Is it safe for leg movement? When can she walk? Also her school reopens on June 10. When can we send her. What safety measures should be followed after removing pop. When will she get her pop removed

It depends on the fracture pattern and stability of fracture reduction after pop application.
Usually it takes 5-6 weeks for fracture healing in children.
