Greenstick Fracture: A greenstick fracture is that fracture when a bone bends and cracks instead of breaking completely into separate pieces. This type of fracture usually occurs in children because their bones are soft and more flexible than the adults.
Management of Greenstick Fracture: Most of these fractures involve arms and legs which require immobilization to make the bone grow back together in proper or natural position. A removable splint is the most recommended one among children. The swelling that occurred on the site of the fracture may be reduced with anti-inflammatory drugs. Pain can be relieved by taking pain relievers. Generally, it takes eight weeks for complete bone healing. High impact activities should be avoided in the beginning.
