Patient's question:
Doctor! The child had a Kirschner wire surgery for a clavicle fracture, and it has been over 80 days now. Could you please take a look at the X-rays? Has the fracture line healed? When can the Kirschner wire be removed?Doctor's answer:
Your child's condition involves symptoms resulting from a fracture surgery, which may cause local pain and slight restricted movement. Currently, your condition has a relatively good healing process, but removing the internal fixation typically requires about a year. For your situation, I recommend resting, enhancing nutrition, consuming more eggs and meat, and performing sufficient exercise for the local joints. At the moment, your child's condition is not yet ready for the removal of the internal fixation. They can take Caltrate tablets and Jiegulu Qi Lili tablets for symptomatic treatment, which will help with bone healing. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
