Reasons for not casting, hairline fracture with active lifestyle (unable to modify), splinting not controlling pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not any. : As long as there is motion of a fractured bone, there will be pain. In order to relieve the pain one must immobilize the fractured part long enough to permit healing.
