Fracture of right clavicle
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
