Hey docs, should toddler's arm fracture be in a cast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Some fractures in toddlers are little more than a dent in the bone, like a dent in a can.It is stable and is often just places in a soft splint. Others might require quite an elaborate cast. It all varies with the type and location of the injury.
