First of all OUCH! On the recent pic the radius (bone on the right) looks really good, you can see the calcium building up, that's the bright stuff, the ulna doesn't look great but obviously the doctor is looking at much better images. Good luck

I broke both bones in my arm when I was 10 it all healed fine. Im sure medical technology has improved in the last 21 years... the only lingering side effect is I cant bend my wrist all the way back

Like the surgeon said, both-bone fractures toward the middle of the forearm are difficult to keep aligned with a cast and often require surgery. Hopefully the cast will work for her. If the orthopedic surgeon is seeing her weekly with x-rays, I'm sure they are on top of things.
I'm so sorry that happened to her. It's hard seeing little ones get hurt. She'll get through it though........unfortunately it takes time to heal. |

We trust what the Dr is telling us, it's my wife that is getting a little aggravated. The Dr was referred to us by her cheer coach. He puts all those kids back together when they break something so I believe he knows what he is doing. It sucks that we have been spending hundreds of dollars every month for a few years now on competition cheer and tumbling. The Dr says that if it takes surgery or heals on its own he expects a 100% recovery and she can get back to cheering. I hope he is right.

Flounder, I know how it is in dealing with kids and injuries. We literally just went through a very similar scenario last week with one of my players on the football team. Big ole' 8th grader makes through football season with only bumps and bruises, then ends up playing around on the playground at recess and rolls his ankle. Problem is, he endd up with a compound tib/fib fracture which required surgery.
Your orthopedic has a ton of training under his belt and probably has the best intentions of your daughter in mind. With that said, their is no way in hellllll that my son would have left the hospital WITHOUT plates and screws. Yes, they can heal without it, but you eliminating a second surgery by doing it the first time. |

Finfeatherfur, I wish we would have done it from the start but when the Dr lined them back up he said that it looked great and would heal. She was in a cast that went almost to her shoulder and he put her in a short cast on Tuesday so now she is bending her elbow and I just don't see how that could make it any better.

man, i feel for ya'll... my little boy just got over a "buckle fracture" in the exact same spot... but what your daughter has is much worse... i don't know much about this, but it sure is scary seeing that bone not connected after that long... best of luck to you!

I broke my left arm 3 times and my right arm 3 times growing up. After the 3rd time I would only go to the doctor to get the cast and than I would take it off myself about 4-6 weeks later with a hacksaw. She will be fine!
