[|AI|]  Hello, The most common complication with a fracture in a person having the brittle bone disease is non-union i.e. fracture does not unite so easily.  As in your case, only a few fractures like scaphoid bone fractures of the wrist may not show at the time of injury, but maximum fractures are easy to diagnose. As you have a brittle bone disease it is better to go for CT SCAN to diagnose the fracture without wasting time. And of course splint age is a must and for a longer duration in your case than a person without brittle bone disease. Take anti-inflammatory analgesics, calcium, vitamin D supplements and get the CT SCAN done. And for arm and shoulder use ice packs. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
