What Do These X-ray Findings Indicate?

Please advise when can i expect a response.
Sling can be removed once in a while.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the X-rays attached. The bone alignment is good in the cast. The purpose of sling is to give rest to the arm and lesser the movement earlier will be the healing. If he removes the sling for sometime, it does not matter. You can get a check X-ray done after every 2 weeks to see the alignment. In young children the healing is good and normally the bone heals completely in 4-6 weeks.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Get an X-ray every 2 weeks,
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
One of the fractured bones is aligned correctly. The second bone is less aligned but it will heal and the bone will become normal after remodelling in next 4-5 months.
It is best to get an X-ray done every 2 weeks and in case the second bone is more mal- aligned then a surgical fixation might be needed.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
