    Parents Small buckle fracture pinky

    My L4 daughter got a small buckle fracture on her pinky a few days ago. I had my orthopedic surgeon friend look at the X-ray and at first he couldn’t find anything without zooming in super closely but suggested cast and 4 weeks out. My ER doctor brother who played high school and college sports...

    Has anyone had a similar scaphoid fracture experience?

    So a little backstory. I am involved in gymnastics but also participate in CrossFit. In mid May, I was doing ring muscle ups and slipped and fell. I broke my left scaphoid and “strongly bruised” my right wrist. They (the ortho) told me not to worry too much about the right wrist and just be...

    WAG Proximal humerus fracture

    Hey, On 12/3, my daughter fell from the high bar and buckle fractured her left humerus close to the shoulder. Ortho didn’t set it (as is apparently standard for this fracture in this location) and it has healed with about a 30 to 40 degree angulation. The angulation of the bone can be felt on...

    WAG Stress Fracture Sesamoid Bone

    My DD got a stress fracture in her sesamoid bone, which is one of the bones in the ball of the foot, padding on bottom of foot by the big toe. She developed it from preparing for states.

    Back fracture/stress fracture recovery

    I’m currently in Xcel silver and I was planning to move up to gold the next season. But, during regionals my back, which had been bugging me all year, hurt so bad that I could barely walk. I pushed through regionals, the whole time holding back tears. This was the only meet all season that I...

    Parents Anyone with experience with stress fractures in their back? From 9/9/17 (Update)

    In September of last year, I posted the titled question. We would soon find out we were dealing with quite a bit more than what I thought the day of my post (the day after Urgent care). It turned out DD had a clean break on one side, a stress fracture on the other, and slippage of one...

    Hey. We are 16 weeks post diagnosis of a L5 Pars Defect (stress fracture). DD is still doing PT and was just approved to start doing tap swings. But no impact or back extension stuff. She experienced pain.... Any idea what recovery will feel like for her? The stress fracture itself should...

    WAG Any experience with a scaphoid fracture?

    Hi Everyone, DD fell onto her outstretched hand at school during recess and there is a suspicion of a scaphoid fracture. We'll see the orthopedist tomorrow. While I was consulting Dr. Google (haha) this evening, I read that this type of fracture is also a relatively common gymnastics...

    Parents Second metatarsal fracture

    WAG Long term ibuprofen to prevent ossification following fracture

    We have seen 2 docs for an elbow fracture and Doc 2 wanted DD on ibuprofen every 6 hrs for 3 weeks. Not for its anti inflammatory properties but because apparently when kids break growthplates the body can get over excited on making bone and make some in the wrong area. I found on google...

    Parents How long after foot fracture?

    I'm not looking to push her or heal faster. DD fractured the growth plate in her foot almost 7 weeks ago and sprained the top of the foot ligiments 4 weeks in a cast/crutches and she is on week 3 of a walking boot. She adhered to the strict no mobility rule. Ortho gave her a clear to take...
