Hi doctor, My 4 year old son fell down in play area and got his left arm fractured in the region of ulna and radius. We went to the emergency room immediately and the doctors did alignment and put him on cast and sling. Can you please check the x-ray and confirm the alignment? Since he is 4 years old, he is not keeping the sling all time. While playing with toys inside home, the sling is getting loosened. My worry is that, will it delay the healing process? Does the kid always need to be in sling while cast? I am attaching all the x-rays of my son. After looking into the x-ray, I had asked about the second bone not realigned properly. They told that it is fine if the alignment is greater than 20% or something like that. We are again going for a follow up in two days time. Please suggest if we need to ask them anything else during our follow up visit. Is whatever the doctor said appropriate in his case? Kindly guide us.
