A broken arm: can be anything from minor to major. Fractures have significant pain, deformity and loss of function. Fractures can be stabilized by a splint or Cast initially. An X-ray can confirm if there is a fracture and permanent treatment can be either casting , splinting or surgery depending on the fracture.

Varies: Varies based upon a more specific description of the fracture. Some need simply immobilization and time to heal, others require surgery.
