any orthpaedic specialists around please?

will try and cut to the chase, without being biased.

my 13 yr old DS due to fly to Egypt with his father mid august. DS fell 2 weeks ago, fractured radius and scaphoid, found out today after MRI last week he also has fractured ulna (all same arm/wrist)

has anyone heard of a scaphoid plaster being cut to fly? he has a new one being put on the day before he should fly.
TIA

Not an expert.

I have only seen it on TV when they have done that for someone returning tot he UK so it is possible.

How are you going to set up a hospital to reapply the plaster in Egypt?

I used to work in orthopaedics and we always told people they couldn't fly with a plaster. If you do it has to be split. Will the airline let you fly? What will happen with the plaster once he gets there?
