Fracture of right clavicle

2018-08-28 14:07:06
Dear Doctor, My nephew, 2 years old, fell down accidentally while playing and after suspecting pain at the shoulder part we decided to consult family doctor. We have taken X RAY of shoulder AP and impression in the report says 1) Undisplaced fracture of the right clavicle at its mid 1/3rd 2) Visulaised bones shows osteoporotic changes. Would you be so kind as to give your valuable feedback on this report and suggest further steps to be taken. Thanks in advance

Conservative approach Just strapping with a dynaplast will do as 2 year old child is not going to follow your commands and you cannot control him. He should be fine in 3 weeks time. Osteoporosis don't know why this report given

Conservative measures are sufficient . Apply view packs locally. Immobilisation of upper limb is important here. Share x-rays.
