Fracture: It all depends upon the severity of the fracture and if there's any displacement. A fiberglass cast or potentially a splint will be sufficient treatment. It should be healed within 3 to 4 weeks at which time therapy can begin. You might be converted from a splint into a brace for additional protection at some point along the way. Be sure you are evaluated by a physician. Best of luck!

Depends: Typically all fractures require immobilization. If a closed fracture, non-displaced then typically splinting/casting. If displaced then closed versus surgical reduction of the fracture with or without pins/plates/screws followed by a period of immobilization. If the bone punctured through the skin, definite surgery to wash then fix.

Radius fracture: it is hard to generally give a best answer for this very large category of injuries except to say that the treatment option is very specific with respect to the many factors such as age, extent of injury. displacement. articular involvement iopen or closed injury. Quality of soft tissues. And finally what the goals of treatment are and what the extent that the patient wants to go through things
