A member asked:
Have radius hairline fracture from 6wks ago but was only in cast for 2wks. x-rays show it's still broken- have i spent 4wks damaging it long term?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: As long as it is not displaced, it is unlikely any harm has occurred. Don't hesitate to discuss with your doctor.
