7yo in cast for buckle fx wrist (ulna) 2 day ago. holds wrist against chest, afraid to move. ok for her to do 2 lb weight rom elbow and mainta bicep?

Not yet: Don't start strength and rom until the orthopedic surgeon tells you it's ok. That's usually between 3 and 6 weeks. At 2 days, the child should rest, elevate and take it easy......

Why worry : The common buckle fracture is not displaced, does not reduce the integrity of the bone and all heal well.They can still hurt like crazy. Leave the kid alone and let him/her resume activity when the hurt subsides. Pain tends to subside after the first week & soon after you may have trouble keeping the kid from battering the cast off.
