How dangerous is it to leave a fracture untreated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Risk a non union: Depend upon where the fracture is located and the bone involved.I do not recomend that any fracture goes untreated, whoever some chip fractures and fracture of some toes can be neglected depending upon circustances.You may risk getting a non union of the fracture bone or a mall union.
