A member asked:
My daughter (5year) a fracture near right elbow early nov, and the cast was taken off 4 weeks later. is it ok for her to ski this christmas?

Likely ok: 5 yr old kids will usually heal quickly. Depending upon the fracture type, it will likely be well enough healed by christmas time (7 wks after the original injury).
