Question
My son is 9 years old and has a severe shoulder protrusion. How should it be corrected?
Answer
A detailed examination is necessary to determine the appropriate course of action. Generally, it is recommended to first try a period of self-care and mechanical correction, which often leads to recovery in most cases. If this is ineffective, surgical treatment may be considered, as postoperative recovery is typically better. However, immediate surgery is generally not advised.
