A member asked:
I have a displaced distal clavicle fracture. been 11 weeks,no healing on x-ray. tried a cortisone shot. will this help the fracture or soft tissue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clavicle fracture : Clavicle fractures often don't heal to return to the original alignment. There is often an abnormal displacement of a part of the fracture permanently. The cortisone injection will help with pain and inflammation only, not healing. Ask your doctor about what you should expect.
