Please tell me, could a doctor rebrake a clavicle bone after 6 months of healing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes it can be ' re- broke' if needed but why?If u have developed a non -union of the bone then a plate w/ or w/o bone grafting is appropriate tx.If you're fracture is healed but angulated and causing a deformity it can be osteotomized and plated; but orif's of clavicle is not without risk( infection)
