Will i have to get a cast if i have a cortical buckle fracture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
buckle fracture: Buckle fractures are most commonly seen in the pediatric population, not in a 41 year old. Usually it is best to protect most long bone/extremity fractures, depending on the location, with a cast.
