The doctor will view the x-rays. He/she might have a radiologist look at them again, and they might re-take the x-rays.

Trouble is, sometimes the swelling is too great at first and they have to wait a few days to a week before putting a cast on, if that's what is indicated for this type of injury.

At the very least, I would make sure they immobilize it in a sling or another type of brace until it can be casted.

In rare cases, surgery might be indicated as well, but I wouldn't worry about that too much.

Hope that helps!

Please ask more questions if you have them! Or, consider clicking on the accept button if I've helped you.

Thanks!
