Tuesday FEB 08 2011 My baby born after 4 days we find out that our babay right hand is not moving but finger are moving. Than we concern with the doctor at the hospital, they said this is clavicle fracture, they didn t figer out how it gona happen. My question is that, When it will heal, and why the elbow is not moving if the clavicle facture.
HI...if the elbow is also not moving, it may not be a simple curricular fracture. There could be a displacement or dislocation at the elbow joint. I suggest you get in touch with an orthopedic surgeon experienced in pediatric cases. Curricular fracture is self-healing at this age and will heal in 6 - 8 weeks time. Regards -
