Cast Art for Kids With Extremity Fractures Study

This study is looking at how different types of casts affect children who have broken a bone in their arm or leg. It compares three types of casts: a plain white cast (Neutral White Cast), a cast with a color chosen by the child (Color Wrapped Cast), and a cast with custom art like drawings or glitter (Cast with Cast Art). The main goal is to see if having a customized cast makes children and their parents more satisfied. Researchers will also look at how much pain children report. You might be able to join if you are between 5 and 18 years old and have an arm or leg fracture. The study plans to include 96 participants, but its current status is unclear.
