Does my daughter need to have orthopedic surgery?

My 13 year old daughter injured her arm after slipping down a few stairs. She seems okay but I want her to be looked at.

No. If she's not complaining of pain and is using the arm normally, it's probably okay. However, if 2-3 days go by and she is still having pain, take her to any doctor where an X-ray can be made to make sure there is not a break.

Hope it helps!!

Let the family practice doctor have a look and maybe do an X-ray. He or she can either reassure you or refer you to orthopedics.
