Rarer wrist fracture type so haven’t seen heaps of them. If it’s undisplaced the risk is small enough. Make sure you get clarification of that tomorrow. Lots of that type of fracture occur with your thumb getting pulled backwards away from the rest of the hand like it getting stuck in a jersey for example. Strapping it to resist that movement (strap it with him holding an imaginary coke can) will help reduce risk further
Don’t normally take risks with kids at work. If he’s your kid he’s probably made of stronger stuff though
Playing fucking slapsies and smashed table with base of thumb, DR said was odd location for that type of fracture. And were a few debates on whether it actaully was broken as extremely faint on the x ray
