My younger brother is 14 years old and has suffered a fracture in his right arm. I need an explanation regarding whether a metal plate should be inserted or if a cast is sufficient.
I am 16 and had a both-bone forearm fracture on 31 August, which was reduced and treated with a long-arm plaster cast. My recent follow-up X-ray was about 1 week ago and I was told the alignment was fine. Today, at around 4 weeks after the fracture, I moved my whole casted arm from approximately 90° to around 110° relative to the ground. During the movement I felt mild-to-moderate pain in a very small area of the upper forearm/below the wrist, but the pain suddenly disappeared while I was still moving the arm. After that, the previous muscle pain/discomfort around my shoulder also suddenly disappeared, and my hand felt noticeably better. At the same time, the plaster suddenly started feeling less snug throughout the arm, although it is not obviously sliding or rotating. I also notice a familiar nerve-irritation/goosebump or moving sensation when I move my fingers, but there is no persistent numbness or tingling. I can move all my fingers normally, and they are normal in colour and temp

This question usually comes from someone in their late forties or fifties who has been told to wait. Waiting is sometimes right. It is also sometimes advice given reflexively, and it deserves a more careful answer than a number.Where the fear comes fromThe worry is revision. If an implant ...
Being told the X-ray is normal when the knee clearly hurts is one of the more frustrating experiences in orthopedics. It is not a dismissal, and it is not a dead end. It narrows the diagnosis rather than closing it.What an X-ray can and cannot seeAn X-ray shows bone. It shows joint space ...
