Clavicle Fracture treatment in Aguascalientes

A clavicle fracture is a break in the bone that connects the sternum with the shoulder, common after falls onto the shoulder or an outstretched arm.

Common symptoms: There is usually localized pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the arm on the affected side; at times a bump or deformity is noticed over the area.

Common causes: Direct falls, blows during sports activities, and traffic accidents are among the most common origins.

Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist and trauma surgeon is the appropriate professional to examine this type of bone injury and provide guidance on recovery. If pain persists or arm movement is limited after a blow to the shoulder, the most prudent thing is to have a professional perform a timely evaluation.
