Last week, a child fractured their left clavicle and was treated with a cast. The doctor mentioned that surgery was an option, but suggested a conservative treatment approach. After the reduction, there was a slight misalignment noticed. This is an X-ray taken during the follow-up visit yesterday; it still shows some misalignment. The doctor said the healing is going well and suggested going home to rest. If there is still concern, they can come back for another follow-up next week. Will such misalignment affect the child’s future? Can such a slight misalignment heal properly?
