For a buckle fracture, a cast is often recommended as it provides more stability and support to the injured bone, helping to ensure proper alignment during the healing process. However, a removable splint may be beneficial for certain cases, allowing for easier access for monitoring and comfort. The choice between the two should be guided by a healthcare professional based on the specific circumstances of the injury and the patient's needs.
