What to expect during healing of a Clavicle Fracture: While the bone heals usually within 2-3 months, recovery takes much longer. Typically most of the recovery is completed by 3-5 months.
Symptoms. Clavicle fractures can be very painful and may make it hard to move your arm. Additional symptoms include: Sagging shoulder (down and forward) Inability to lift the arm because of pain. A grinding sensation if an attempt is made to raise the arm. A deformity or "bump" over the break.
PowerPoint Presentation. Clavicle Fractures. Gudrun Mirick Mueller, MD Orthopaedic Traumatologist Hennepin Healthcare, Minneapolis MN Assistant Professor, University of Minnesota. Objectives. Understand the deforming forces affecting clavicle fractures. Discuss factors affecting the decision to treat fractures operatively vs non-operatively.
What are clavicle fractures? The clavicle (collarbone) is a bone connecting your sternum (breast bone) to your scapula (shoulder blade), It is one of the most common bony injuries. It has generally been caused by falling onto the arm or shoulder, or from it being knocked against an object or person. The clavicle is near other structures such
recovery of the shoulder girdle following a clavicle fracture [14,16–20]. The clavicle also protects the vital neurovascular bundles coursing underneath it as well as the apex of the lung. The brachial plexus and the subclavian vessels traverse toward the axillae under the middle third of the clavicle, Fig. 2.
Recovery Collarbone breaks often heal naturally, using a simple sling for support for 2 to 6 weeks. The sling can then be removed, and the arm used as pain allows.
This protocol is intended to guide clinicians through the post-operative course for clavicle ORIF. This protocol is time based (dependent on tissue healing) as well as criterion based.
