Has anyone's child broken an arm? Ladies, I have a question for you. My child broke two bones with displacement and had surgery. They were in the hospital for a week and were discharged home today. The doctor said that theoretically, they could go back to school, but we could also take sick leave. I'm a bit scared to send them back to school with a cast. There are so many kids there, they push each other, and God forbid they get bumped again and re-break it... Who among you has been in this situation? How long did it take for your child to return to school? By the way, my child has no learning problems. And, of course, they have limited mobility and can't dress or undress themselves.

My son's friend went to school for a month with a cast on his right arm. My son also went everywhere in a cast, though that was in the summer when he attended a summer camp. No one pushed him. Everyone seemed fine.

My son broke his arm.
He was 5 years old. Three reductions.
He was in a cast for about a month, then he worked on his arm.
Even now, his arm bends differently than his healthy one.

So if it's in a cast, how can it break again? That's what a cast is for, to keep it stable.

If she'll be doing homework and studying at home, then let her stay home. My friend's daughter fell at home and had a displacement. It's better to be careful.

Evgeniya Ivanova My child is calm, but the school is overcrowded. There are so many kids. I don't think a cast would help if he fell on it. But I'm not a doctor, of course. I really don't want that to happen again, though.

What grade is she in? If she can study remotely, she should stay home.

Their little one heals so fast. Hope they take good care of themselves.
Was lying in the grass with my son, and there were kids with casts and on crutches running around and bumping into each other.

Evgeniya Ivanova Just stay home for a couple of weeks so it can start to heal. A month at home is tough. If it were a leg, you couldn't be jumping up and down stairs, but an arm isn't as burdensome.

I broke my arm in 1st grade, two bones with displacement. This was back in 2001, but I didn't even stay in the hospital. They put me in a cast and sent me home. After some time, we went for another check-up. I didn't go to school for a week, then I went back. I even have a notebook where I struggled to write with my left hand because my right one was in a cast.

My son's friend broke his clavicle with a displacement. The orthopedist didn't give permission for him to go to school, so they did homeschooling for the entire 4th quarter.

Churkina (Belous) Diana Well, it's up to you, of course. I'd try sending them to school

Fractures can be different...
My daughter went to school with a cast. The class was understanding and took care of her.
A colleague's son broke his arm in June. He had surgery and will be in a cast until November. It's healing slowly, so of course, he's staying home.

When I was 12, I broke both my radius bones with displacement, and I had surgery. I stayed home for a week after the hospital, then I got bored and started going to school, everything was fine 👍

I can't say for sure.
My youngest broke her arm 2 years ago, and they didn't put her in a cast. She stayed home with us for a month that summer and didn't go to daycare, so it was fine. Besides, I wouldn't have sent her to daycare with a cast anyway.
I don't know what I would have done in your situation, but I probably would have kept her home at least at first, and then see how things go.
