Fractured clavicle in the newbornFrom our partner site on chronic pain, ChronicPainConnection.com.
Fractured collar bone Treatment: Generally, there is no treatment other than lifting the child gently to prevent discomfort. Occasionally, the arm on the affected side may be immobilized. Expectations (prognosis): advertisement Full recovery occurs without treatment. Complications: There are usually no complications. Later in life, due to the excellent healing potential of infants, it may be impossible (even by x-ray) to tell that a fracture occurred. Calling your health care provider: Call for an appointment with your health care provider if your baby acts uncomfortable when you lift him or her.
