A member asked:
Can you explain if it's possible to have a cosmetic surgery for a green stick fracture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: I am not sure that i understand the question as stated as fracture treatment is by either an orthopedist, hand surgeon or podiatrists. Cosmetic surgery is not indicated in fracture management.
