Suggest Treatment For Collar Bone Fracture In A Child
My daughter (4.5 YRS) got her collar bone fractured from middle portion. Orthopedician suggested 8 figure sling. 15 d post injury, when it was reexamined by X-ray, no rejoining by then and broken portions were a bit more apart, in comparison to the time of injury. How much time it may take to heal properly and bone rejoining ?

Hi,
Collar bone fracture unites gradually even if it is displaced. It needs surgery almost never. Any delay or mal-alignment of union will not cause any functional issues to shoulder. Figure of 8 helps initial immobilisation and pain relief. Healing usually occur by 4-6 weeks. Your orthopedist will discuss in details.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
