The Best Way to Recover from a Green Branch Fracture

Green branch fracture refers to the fracture unique to children, and there is no optimal method of recovery. Generally, green branch fracture can be treated conservatively or surgically. 1. Conservative treatment: clinically speaking, it is less likely to need surgery after the emergence of green branch fracture, and can be externally immobilized by plaster, which can promote the recovery of the fracture, and usually need to rest sufficiently. 2. Surgical treatment: If the child’s condition is special and the conservative treatment can’t achieve a better effect, surgical treatment may be needed, such as incision internal fixation, so as not to affect the child’s later recovery. Generally speaking, the fracture of the green branch needs to be locally immobilized and braked for 3~4 weeks, and functional training is also needed in the later stage.
