hello, i fell over two weeks ago whilst on holiday, i went to hospital when i returned home and they said i had broke my radiul head, i had to go back to hospital two days later to see consultant, he said to leave it how it is but told me not to lift anything, is it really broke if its not in plaster
Hello, As mentioned you had a radial head fracture - did you take an x-ray at least for it. And what does the x-ray say?  Does it require a surgery or it's just a hairline fracture. In either of the cases, the POP is a must to immobilize the Forearm bones, so healing can occur faster. If not taken an x-ray then do it first. And since you mentioned the physician didn't do a plaster than I think it might be a hairline fracture. Based on the clinical examination and x-ray reports we can decide what the treatment plan will be. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
