Summary

This study looks at how much pollution and waste are created by two common ways to treat a broken hand bone: surgery or a cast/splint. Researchers will track 30 adults for a year, measuring things like carbon emissions and trash. The goal is to find out which treatment is better for the planet, without affecting patient care.
