Question
Is the radiation from X-rays for children’s fractures high?
Answer
X-rays always involve radiation, but patients with fractures cannot avoid them. An occasional X-ray does not cause much disturbance to the body; it is so negligible that it can be ignored. Therefore, children with fractures need to undergo X-rays for a detailed examination, and then additional treatment can be based on the results of the examination. For example, if the position of the fracture is good, cast immobilization treatment can be used. If the position is poor, surgery may be required.
