I have what is called a greenstick fracture. My bone cracked and bent, but didn't completely shatter. It gets its name from what happens to a green stick when bent... exactly that! Since I want to be a bone surgeon, I was watching very carefully, and was examining my own x-ray! When they plastered me back up, here is what they did...
1. Put on a bandage glove, thumbless
2. Put on a special thumb glove thingy
3. Wrap sponge around my wrist
4. Wrap cotton wool around the whole thing
5. Put 3 layers of luminous pink plaster on my hand
6. Fold the edges of the glove over
7. Plaster the top
8. Rub it until it all dried
It was pretty funny, I'll tell you that!
