How Dangerous Is A Broken Arm In A Child?
My great niece (age 7) fell rolling skating Sat. and broke her left arm. They said it was the birth plate and I was wondering how dangerous that is? They had to pull it together and put pins in it. She is not in a hard cast, because they are waiting to take pins out.

Hi.... this is not dangerous. Don't worry. By what you say I feel that the treatment also is going on in the right direction. As they have put pins, the union will be perfect alignment. Don't worry about it.
