Broken collarbone in baby child, is this from abuse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: A broken collarbone can occasionally occur during birth due to various factors such as the size and positioning of the baby. Beyond birth, any fracture in a very young child certainly raises the possibility of abuse, so a thorough investigation of the circumstances may be undertaken.
