Ways To Treat And Recover From A Buckle Fracture

Prolonged Rest Period

While a buckle fracture doesn't cause the bone to fully break, it's possible for the bone to do so if the fracture isn't handled well following the injury. It's important, then, to avoid moving the affected area as much as possible, which we have established immobilization can help with. A prolonged rest period should also assist in keeping inflammation at bay and making sure pain doesn't flare up often during the recovery process. The recovery process for a buckle fracture only lasts for up to eight weeks at most, which means patients should be able to return to normal physical activity in a short period. During recovery, patients should avoid performing strenuous exercises and any kind of manual labor.
