What Does This X-ray Report Indicate?

I went to Urgent care yesterday after a fall. They took X-rays and just called to tell me I have a displaced fracture of the distal 3 rd of the clavicle with overlapping fracture fragment. They said I would need to go to ER to have it set. What exactly does that mean. When I left yesterday the doc said it would heal on its own.

Hi,



I have studied your case with diligence

This can be delayed healing may be due to displaced fracture clavicle.
Other reasons can be poor bone stock or due to smoking/drinks
If you can send all your x ray reports I can help you better.
You can take second opinion with radiological film.


You can send your reports of x ray directly to me on
http://dyyyyyr.yyyyyyyyyyy.com/doctors/dr-yyyyyyy-yyyyyyy/00003.

If fracture is not displaced it will heal with conservative treatment.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.


Wishing you good health.
Take care
