Clavicle fracture healing time

  Clavicle fractures heal in 8-12 weeks.  Clavicle fractures can be divided into two types: mild and severe. Mild clavicle fracture is subjected to less violence and the fracture is not displaced much, in this case, you can choose conservative treatment and fix the fracture with a figure-of-eight band for one month, through fixation can make the fracture site contact, which is conducive to the growth of bone scab. After one month of review, if there is no local pressure pain in the bone scab, you can remove the eight bandages, and then observe the review after one month, most of the patients can recover. If the local violence is large, the fracture will be shattered and displaced, and in serious cases, the surrounding tissues will be punctured, so emergency surgery is needed in this case. After the surgery, the fracture needs to be repositioned by incision and fixed with a steel plate, and after the fixation, the patient still needs to be protected for a period of time from strenuous movement to avoid re-displacement of the fracture. In conclusion, depending on the degree of injury of the clavicle fracture, most patients can recover in two months, and some patients can extend to three months.  In addition, patients with clavicle fractures need to take more nutritious food during the recovery period, such as milk, eggs, lean meat, beans, etc.
