Guest guest Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 My 4yo fell out of a tree yesterday and broke both tibia and fibula in his right leg. The little one (which is which?) was just a greenstick fracture and would have needed only a splint, but the big one broke all the way across and was at a 30* angle, so he had to manipulate it to get it in place and cast it. :-( Fortunately it's about an inch above the ankle and didn't involve the growing plates (where the bone gets new growth at the bottom end) and should heal just fine. What's the best eating for healing broken bones quickly? ~ Carma ~ To be perpetually talking sense runs out the mind, as perpetually ploughing and taking crops runs out the land. The mind must be manured, and nonsense is very good for the purpose. ~ Boswell Carma's Corner: http://www.users.qwest.net/~carmapaden/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
