When Ms. M., age 7, fell from the monkey bars, she shattered her arm. A greenstick fracture is one where the break does not completely penetrate the bone.
<h3>The most frequent location for greenstick fractures?</h3>
In a partial thickness fracture known as a "greenstick," just the periosteum and cortex of the bone are disrupted on one side of the bone while remaining intact on the other. Long bones like the fibula, tibia, ulna, radius, humerus, and clavicle are where they most frequently appear.
<h3>Treatment options for greenstick fractures</h3>
Greenstick fractures are often treated by immobilizing the bone with a cast or splint to prevent further movement. The majority of casts are worn for 4-6 weeks.
<h3>How dangerous are greenstick fractures?</h3>
The majority of these sorts of fractures are immobilized in a cast during healing because greenstick fractures have a significant chance of totally breaking through the bone.
