Patient's question:
When the baby was born, the doctor checked and found no problems. By the time the baby was 20 days old, it was discovered that the right clavicle was prominently protruding. The baby was taken to the hospital for examination, and X-rays showed that the baby's clavicle was fractured and had already started to heal. When touching the baby's right clavicle with the hand, the baby did not cry or fuss, and the right arm was also moving freely.Doctor's answer:
Generally, it will take about 4 weeks to heal without any aftereffects. Fractures are best not to move for a month to avoid displacement due to improper force. Additionally, pay attention to calcium supplementation, have regular X-rays for follow-up, and focus on increasing nutrition and functional exercises. Gradually, you will recover.
