How do you treat a forearm hairline fracture?
Hairline fractures can also occur when there is a sudden change in the way physical activity is performed. For example, if an athlete who usually runs on grass, suddenly begins running on concrete, he/she could develop a hairline fracture. Even a change in the intensity with which an activity is carried out can lead to a hairline fracture. For example, if a person who usually walks two kilometers on average suddenly decides to run for those two kilometers, they may develop a hairline fracture. To treat a hairline or stress fracture a doctor will usually recommend the use of crutches or a cast to keep the weight off the injured part of the body. Along with some medication for the pain and to prevent infection, this is a good non-surgical approach to treating a hairline fracture. In some cases, however, surgery may be recommended. Here the basic idea is to support the bone to help it heal. This is done by inserting screws or plates (usually in the foot) to keep the bones together.

I got a hairline fracture in my ankle by to running up a slide and jumping off and due to not wearing proper shoes.

Yes, it is possible to have a hairline fracture in the foot that goes unnoticed for several years, especially if it does not cause significant pain or impairment. Such fractures, often called stress fractures, can heal improperly or remain asymptomatic, leading individuals to continue their normal activities without realizing the injury. However, lingering fractures may eventually lead to more severe issues if not addressed. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment if a fracture is suspected.
A fracture that develops over time?
A stress fracture can occur suddenly or slowly and (whether sudden or slow) it can worsen over time. A stress fracture usually occurs on weight-bearing bones that are under "stress" of physical activity. For example, a tennis player might develop a stress fracture in the foot or ankle from strenuous activity during jumping, running, and rotation of the foot and ankle. However, some people have weaker bones, often due to decreased calcium intake or that calcium leeches out of bones (for example, steroids can pull calcium from teeth and bones). Also, older people often have less hardened bones due to loss of calcium. In these situations, it does not require much force or stress on a bone to develop a stress fracture or hairline fracture (hairline means a very thin break, similar to looking at a single head hair on an X-ray film).
