Hello,
The most common complication with a
fracture in a person having the
brittle bone disease is non-union i.e. fracture does not unite so easily.
As in your case, only a few fractures like
scaphoid bone fractures of the wrist may not show at the time of
injury but maximum fractures are easy to diagnose.
As you have a brittle bone disease it is better to go for
CT SCAN to diagnose the fracture without wasting time.
And of course splintage is a must and for a longer duration in your case than a person without brittle bone disease.
Take anti-inflammatory analgesics, calcium, vitamin D supplements and get the CT SCAN done. and for arm and shoulder use ice packs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Jaideep Gaver, Orthopaedic Surgeon
