Patient's question:
When the child was born, it was said that they had a clavicle fracture. Could you please tell me how long I need to wait before having the child rechecked?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it usually takes 2 to 4 weeks to heal on its own, don't worry, you can follow up after a month. Pediatric clavicle fractures are generally greenstick fractures. If there is no obvious displacement, it indicates that the periosteum is still connected, and reduction is not needed. This baby just born, because the child is relatively young, the bones are very good, so it is easy to heal. It usually takes about a month, you can check if it has healed after a month, or you can determine the follow-up time according to the guidance of the local doctor. The child grows faster, generally no major problems.
