Fractura de clavícula en el recién nacido - Treatment

Nombres alternativos

Clavícula fracturada en un recién nacido

Tratamiento:

Generalmente, no hay ningún tratamiento distinto a levantar el niño suavemente para evitar la molestia. En ocasiones, se puede inmovilizar el brazo del lado afectado, casi siempre simplemente pegando con ganchos la manga a la ropa.

Pronóstico:

La recuperación completa se obtiene sin necesidad de tratamiento.

Posibles complicaciones:

Por lo general, no se presentan complicaciones. Debido al excelente potencial de sanación de los bebés, más adelante puede ser imposible decir si ocurrió alguna fractura (incluso con radiografía).

Cuándo contactar a un profesional médico:

Solicite una cita con el médico si su bebé actúa como si estuviera incómodo cuando usted lo alza.
