DD hurt her foot today in the gym. I took her to one of those "express" medical centers since it was 6:00. They did an X-ray, said they didn't see a fracture but they would have their radiologist look at it. Said it was most likely just a bruise. However, as we were driving home we got the call saying that the radiologist saw a fracture in the growth plate. They said that they would refer us to an ortho, but that they didn't think they'd be able to do much for a broken toe growth plate. She's just in an ace bandage for now and they just said for her to take it easy till she gets in to see the ortho. They seemed fairly laid-back about it... Said she was unlikely to damage it further by using the foot. Anyone have any experience with this kind of injury? Last year when she broke her foot she left the office in a boot with crutches, so this totally different attitude about the growth plate injury has me a little confused.
