A member asked:
Both bones in forearm are broken, big cast=3 wks, short cast 3 wks. x-ray still shows deformity. growth plate still active. should i worry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your age: The amount of deformity and how much growth is left plays a big role. If you are fully grown then that is different and you may need to have this fracture operated upon if it is truly a forearm fracture.
