Question: If u have a hair line fracture in your elbow do you have to get a cast!.!?
Answers:
Depends which bone & if there is any ligament/tendon damage but it could be a half-cast or back slab which immobilizes the injured bone to let it heal!. Your orthopaedic doctor will advise you!. My daughter had the same thing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not always if the fracture is in the radial head usually a sling will sufficeWww@Answer-Health@Com
