A member asked:
Orif surgery for snapped clavicle (metal plate & 6 screws) would you agree that one day off school, one week wearing the sling is sufficient 13 yr boy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wouldn't try: This is information that the operating surgeon would have and decide. A full understanding of all factors in the case, including the injury prior to the surgery, the kids early response and present physical findings it is never wise to second guess the recommendations of the operating surgeon.
