Question 1

hairline fracture on radius head: what kind of healing time am i looking at?

Accepted Answer

6 weeks: if your bones heal normally.

Question 2

13 aged son,when it full recover from radius hairline fracture because sometimes when he pull up he feel faint pain,cast off from nearly 2 month?

Accepted Answer

Should be: healed. I am not sure how long the cast was on but as long as his bones are normal these types of fractures heal within 12-16 weeks. If you concerned that it is not healed, ask your doctor for a reassessment to include an XR. He should not still be experiencing pain.

Question 3

13 aged son,when it full recover from radius hairline fracture because sometimes he feel faint pain,cast off from nearly 2 month? cast was for 4 week.

Accepted Answer

Muscle adjustment: Having a cast on an extremity for a length of time causes the loss of muscle tone and size which take a good while to return to normal as each muscle rebuilds to the same strength as it was before.  Sometimes the site may be uncomfortable due to a growth spurt, if that is going on at this time.
If the pain persist or worsens go back to your doctor and have it checked.

Question 4

could a hairline fracture in the radius cause stiffness and make my thumb pop when moved?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Sounds like an unrelated problem.

Question 5

have radius hairline fracture from 6wks ago but was only in cast for 2wks.  x-rays show it's still broken- have i spent 4wks damaging it long term?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: As long as it is not displaced, it is unlikely any harm has occurred.  Don't hesitate to discuss with your doctor.

Question 6

i fractured my radial head years ago like 8 years or so. i believe it was a hairline fracture. i am still having bad pain. what should i do? is there anyway to straighten it myself?

Accepted Answer

: No, it is not something you can do yourself. Talk to your primary care doc first. An Ortho evaluation might be needed, specifically if significant displacement. Otherwise post fracture pain is relatively common, occupational therapy is helpful in many cases.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Fractures: in an otherwise healthy bones occur only with high impact.

Question 8

its been two weeks since my friend injured his jaw.what are the symptoms of mandible hairline fracture like on the left angle of jaw?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Clinical examination would include assessment of the occlusion (bite), tenderness to palpation of the muscles and jaw , resistance movements (both opening and closing), and manipulation of the jaw. Also, tooth position/looseness would be checked. Radiographic imaging would include Panoramic and 3D scans. Some may add a lateral Ceph. See a specialist - Oral Surgeon- for evaluation. Good Luck.

Question 9

if i have jaw hairline fracture after wisdom removal will i notice it such as a lot of pain and swelling, or can it be so subtle that i don't know?

Accepted Answer

Sure: but then, if there is a fracture that is likely to heal and not need further interventions, what would it matter?
