My 4 year old son broke his arm...I seen the xray and in his arm below his elbow there were 2 bones and he broke one...The doctor put a cast on it for about 5 weeks it was removed yesterday and he now has a curve to his arm and i again seen the xray and one bone is straight and the other healed like an arrow...he also has a lump...the doctor told me that as he grows it will straighten but it can take years, he also told me my other two options were surgically straighten it or to rebreak it...He also told me that there should be no long term effects...I am very concerned about this and would like a second opinion I would also like to know if tis is the doctors fault for not aligning the bone properly before putting on the case...Please get back to me as I need answers thanks...

hi..thanks for your comment..I have decided that I am going to get a second opinion..I have read alot about it though and this can happen so I am now not blaming the doctor but I think to put my mind at ease I will get the second opinion....thanks
