    If so, could you tell me:

    Can a complete break of a radius be repaired without surgery ?
    Snapped in two, without being an open fracture

    I would guess at yes, but.... it probably depends on if they need straightening back into line.
    </p>

    When I broke mine (both bones) I had had to have an op to straighten them out then a pot put on. Went back after a week and they had slipped apart, so I then had to have another op to have plates put on holding them together. Not fun.

    depending where on the radius

    but basically yes, realignment then a cast is a possibility
