My 4 yr old son fractured his collarbone. what kind of treatment is available?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on situation: The collar bone has its own protective sleeve and is often cracked or bent rather than separated. In many kids, a simple crack is left alone and will heal over 3-4 weeks. If the bend/crack is more dramatic, a brace holding the shoulders back can line up the pieces so they will heal.
