BROKEN BONES

Any obviously deformed fracture should be gently splinted for comfort, and the child should be taken immediately to the office (or to the Emergency Room if after office hours). Call us first so that we can prepare for your arrival if you have time. Pain in an extremity or joint without swelling or deformity can be evaluated in the office and avoid unnecessary trips to the Emergency Room. If you are unsure of the severity of the injury, call us for
advice.
