what is the difference between a nondisplaced fracture than a normal fracture or break? >> they are really the same. medical personnel, we use the term fracture. where nonmedical personnel use the term break they are actually the same. >> what is nondisplaced? >> meaning the fragments remain like a hairline a fracture where the two pieces fit perfectly together displaced meaning they are widely separated. >> oftentimes if you have to reset the bone to make it aligned once again, does that mean healing takes longer? how does something like this heal? >> absolutely correct. nondisplaceed fracture typically would heal in four to six weeks, if they are displaced and require surgery, healing could be little longer. >> if you watch the wizards, he is a leader on the floor, off the floor, can he return before the series is over? >> that's a really good question, the question everyone wants to know. it is going to be difficult, have a fair amount of swelling, decreased hand functionality. wearing a brace is not really an option. if he does make the decision to play whether it is painkillers or the way they wrap it, creatively can he make it worse by playing? >> absolutely. so the worse case scenario would be to play, to reinjure and then take fractures that are not displaced and make them displaced requiring surgery or d healing. >> wow. so there is really probably not a whole lot he can do to try to get on the floor. >> it is going to be tough, we'll see. >> all right dr. robert heimes, we appreciate your time. >> coming up a family story that comes to
