[|Human|] My daughter (4.5 YRS) got her collar bone fractured from middle portion. Orthopedician suggested 8 figure sling. 15 d post injury, when it was reexamined by X-ray, no rejoining by then and broken portions were a bit more apart, in comparison to the time of injury. How much time it may take to heal properly and bone rejoining ?
[|AI|]  Hi, Collar bone fracture unites gradually even if it is displaced. It needs surgery almost never. Any delay or misalignment of union will not cause any functional issues to shoulder. Figure of 8 helps initial immobilization and pain relief. Healing usually occur by 4-6 weeks. Your orthopedist will discuss in details. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
