Nursing Student-Help With Fx. Clavicle


My neice just fx'd her clavicle Saturday. She's in a figure 8 and sling, along with a lot of pain. Her neuro signs have disappeared. The books say a 6-8 week recovery period. Anything more specific that could help?
Thanks!

As far as I recall that's pretty much the standard. Any questions should be directed to her doctor. We really can't give advice like that here.
