The most common part of the body for a child to break is their wrist. Most need a simple plaster cast, but some undergo surgery to reset the bones before they go into a cast. These operations are really common, but doctors are unsure whether they are really necessary in younger children. In children up to 11 years old, even when the bones break and move totally out of place, there is evidence to suggest that the wrist will heal well and will grow back to normal over a few months. Parents and children want to know if surgery is really necessary, or whether a plaster cast with natural healing will be as good.

You can take part if:
You may not be able to take part if:
1. The injury is more than 7 days old2. The injury is part of a more complex wrist fracture (i.e. open or fracture extending into the joint)3. There are other fractured bones elsewhere in the body, in addition to the affected wrist injury4. There is evidence that the patient and/or parent would be unable to adhere to trial procedures or complete follow-up, such as insufficient English language comprehension, developmental delay or a developmental abnormality or no access by parents to mobile data/internet
