Dr. Ankita Bansal - Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon

A Greenstick Fracture is a common type of fracture seen in children, where the bone bends and cracks instead of breaking completely. Because children's bones are softer and more flexible than adult bones, they are more prone to this unique injury. Common causes include: ✔️ Falls during play or sports activities ✔️ Accidental injuries during daily activities ✔️ Direct impact to the arm or leg Signs and symptoms may include: ✔️ Pain and tenderness around the injured area ✔️ Swelling and bruising ✔️ Visible bending or deformity of the limb ✔️ Difficulty moving the affected arm or leg Treatment options may include: ✔️ Clinical evaluation and X-ray diagnosis ✔️ Realignment of the bone when necessary ✔️ Casting or splinting to support healing ✔️ Follow-up monitoring to ensure proper bone growth and recovery With timely treatment, most children recover fully and regain normal function without long-term complications.
