A bit of an update,

We had a great result, no surgery cuts or pins or plates. They were able to get it all aligned up under a general and then set it in a cast. Still in hospital at the moment and we will see the doctor this morning. No major pain at all and Declan had a better sleep than us. Hoping to get out of here this morning as someone is quite bored.

Thanks for all the kind words and wishes

'Green stick' fractures are a great design solution for the lifestyle of kids, who are destined to fall off stuff / fall over as part of the growing up thing.
So, no need to use your cable expertise to build him a traction set-up... That is a good thing!

Great news that no surgery required, although once it has healed it never happened  :D

Please pass on our well wishes from LB, myself and out family.

On the up side a friend of my daughter broke BOTH his wrists at the same time, falling backwards whilst playing basketball. For a 12 year old that was pretty embarrasing as he couldn't go to the bathroom, shower or anything by himself. Poor Mum was pretty sick of it by the end (of the first week) as well.

Went back to the hospital today and had some more xrays, looks as though the two breaks above the wrist are fine but the one above the elbow is a little bit out at the moment. Just waiting on hearing from the head doctor to see if wiring will be needed. Had a second opinion and more xrays tonight and it is touch and go for further surgery, here's hoping not but we want to get it all right so there are no future problems
