Summary
Singer Jason Chan Pak-yu (陳柏宇) said his family trip to Sanya was interrupted when his eight-year-old elder daughter, Abigail Chan Yik-sun (陳羿辰), fractured her right elbow in a fall and was taken to an emergency department for treatment. After X-rays and a doctor’s assessment, her arm was fitted with a fracture brace and bandaged, and Chan said he plans to take her to an orthopaedic specialist again after the family returns to Hong Kong. Chan said he was away playing ball when he received a call that Abigail had been hurt, while his wife Leanne Fu Hiu-wai (符曉薇) later described the incident as a major lesson about safety awareness. The report also set out Department of Health guidance on how parents should respond if a child may have suffered a fracture or dislocation
Key Points
- Chan said Abigail was hurt after she became overexcited, tried to carry her younger sister while running, then fell and landed on her hand
- Leanne Fu said she had tried to stop Abigail immediately, but the child still fell, and the impact caused the elbow fracture
- Chan said Abigail stayed calm at hospital despite the pain, did not cry uncontrollably, and even said she would train her left hand
- Fu wrote that the injury happened on the second day of the trip, leaving Abigail unable to enter the water park or join planned dolphin activities
- The Department of Health advises parents not to straighten or reset a suspected fracture, to minimise movement, and to seek emergency care promptly
Why It Matters
For Hong Kong families travelling with children, the episode is a reminder that ordinary play can quickly turn into an orthopaedic injury requiring urgent assessment and follow-up care. The official advice included in the report is especially relevant because some childhood fractures, including greenstick fractures, may appear less dramatic than a complete break and can be mistaken for a sprain
