How long will the swelling stay in the hand after arm was broken?

This depends on many factors. The swelling is due to the tissue of the arm being damaged. It is possible to break the arm and not do enough damage to the muscles and skin to have any swelling, but it isn't likely. The length of time is also variable and could be anything from a day to several days.

Is your ear bone or cartilage?

The human ear (the bit that sticks out of the side of your head) is made of cartilage. However, inside the ear (in the middle hear behind the eardrum) there are 3 bones (the stirrup, the hammer and the anvil) made of bone.

A green stick fracture?

According to mayoclinic.com, "A child's bones are softer and mote flexible than those of an adult, so they're more likely to break completely. This flexibility can result in a greenstick fracture. In a greenstick fracture, the bone cracks but doesn't break all the way through -- like when when you try to break a green stick of wood."

Also they can be hard to diagnose because symptoms occasionally don't show up. Treatment involves immobilization of the bone so that it will grow back properly. A cast or removable splint might be used.

Seek medical treatment if your child is experiencing difficulty bearing weight or can not move the injured limb much.

Hopefully this helps! :)

How do you use an air-cast for a broken foot?

Depends on the injury, really. I broke my 2nd, 3rd and 4th metatarsals 6 weeks ago. For 2 weeks, I was in a fiberglass cast with the front cut off to make room for swelling, wrapped in an ace bandage. Then I went to a full fiberglass cast for 4 weeks. Now I am in an Air Cast for 4 weeks.

So, really, it depends on what you broke and how much weight the doctor feels you should be putting on the foot

How do you know if you have a wrist fracture?

The mechanism or how your wrist was hurt plays a big part. If you have point tenderness over a specific carpal or wrist bone. If you have swelling,and bruising and loss of or decreased range of motion. All these things are part of an exam and history. You will need an xray to be positive.

The signs of a break or sprain are pain, redness, swelling and a decreased range of movement of your hand. If the swelling and pain does not get less over the course of a few hours, it is best to get the wrist x-rayed as certain breaks might not heal well if left alone. Only an x-ray can determine a fracture.

How do you know if your hand is fractured?

Palpation is the term applied to the use of hands to feel for injury or otherwise aid in medical diagnosis. A break is fairly easy to spot when a person who has experience is making the call. A fracture isn't so easily found. And palpation may hurt. It might make more sense to get the injury looked at by someone who does that sort of thing professionally. Certainly in the case of a break it would be best to have it set by an M.D. to avoid complications and end up with a relatively good working digit after things are said and done.
