How can you deal with a broken bone without getting a cast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fractures: Depends on where the fracture is. Let us know what specifically you have fractured and we can be of much more assistance. Some fractures need surgery, others need a splint then cast, some need a cast and some need nothing at all.
