How long does it usually take to take a 10 year old with a fractured thigh and an external fixation brace? Do I need to make an incision when I take it off? If open, to open how big the wound?

If it's not a comminuted fracture, you don't need to operate. You should try to keep the brace on for as long as possible, more than 3 months. Children's bones recover and grow quickly, but it's best to brace them for more than 3 months. I had a fracture, left hand. Because it was not even 2 months ago, I didn't feel any pain in my hand and I didn't care about it, so I took it off. As a result, my left arm is slightly bent compared to my right arm. This is nothing, and the hamstring will occasionally be misaligned pain can not even lift the hand. This is my personal experience, in six months do not go to do what affects the injured sports.
