Broken Arm

Asked for Male, 17 years

My cousin broke his left arm bone. He is getting treated for it but I am worried about the exposure to X-rays. As he has to take X-rays on his every visit to orthopedic. I wanted to know the safe time and frequency a person can be exposed to X-rays. And would radiation affect his heart?

Dear Patient,

Does he have a heart condition? Has he had any surgeries? How old is he? X-rays are harmful however his orthopedic may be asking for many given the nature of his fracture. You can consult with another orthopedic about this if unsatisfied, but we believe it is alright to have these X-rays if needed under such circumstances.
