What can i do to treat a greenstick fracture on the wrist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Greenstick Fracture: A greenstick fracture is a fracture of the wrist in a pediatric patient. Children's bones are much more flexible and a fracture can affect one cortex or side. On xrays they will often look like a crease or a bend in the bone. These type of fractures still should be casted.
