A member asked:

Help docs! my 4 yr old son fractured his collarbone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Your question is ???: This is a common injury and usually requires limited intervention.The collarbone is in a rubberized sleeve and often cracks without separating, leaving treatment using a simple sling or a brace to keep the shoulders drawn back to keep it in position. The fracture heals with a bump at the sight that gradually changes over several years, most becoming unnoticable.
