my 12 year old has a buckle fracture of the radius. We want to know how soon she could realistically play volleyball. It will be 7 weeks this Friday, she is still in a splint. The PA-C who saw her this week says her x-rays are great and she is healing well.
Hithanks for the question It would be of great help if I could see the x-raying with buckle fracture I am assuming that bone which is closure to wrist is affected buckle fracture or torus fracture are impaction fracture basically where there is no displacement between the fragments. If fracture is that, and you told your child is 12 years old then child Chat Doctor. As you have told that already 7 weeks have passed, personally I feel its much more time for splint.in child 3-4 weeks of splint with gradually activities resumption helps in restoration of activities. Please visit an orthopedic surgeon so that he can assess and guide you appropriately
