Fractura de clavícula en el recién nacido - Symptom

Nombres alternativos

Clavícula fracturada en un recién nacido

Síntomas:

El bebé no moverá el brazo lesionado con dolor y, en lugar de esto, lo mantendrá inmóvil contra ese lado del cuerpo. El hecho de levantar al bebé por los brazos le causa dolor. Algunas veces, se puede sentir la fractura con los dedos, pero generalmente el problema no puede observarse ni sentirse.

Al cabo de unas pocas semanas, se puede desarrollar una protuberancia dura donde el hueso está cicatrizando y éste puede ser el único signo de que el niño tuvo una clavícula fracturada.

Pruebas y exámenes:

Una radiografía del tórax mostrará si hay o no un hueso fracturado.

La negativa de un bebé a mover un brazo también puede deberse a una dislocación parcial del codo (subluxación de la cabeza del radio o codo de niñera), daño neurológico (parálisis de Erb), fractura del húmero (hueso del brazo) u otras causas.
