Did that work? I approve of the trend towards letting the body heal itself when possible. But I thought displaced bones generally need to be set, otherwise they can heal with incorrect angles and lose functionality, range of motion, etc.
- skykooler 4y agoThey did the same when I broke my collarbone. The bone healed mis-aligned and needed surgery anyway to re-break it so it could be aligned properly.
- ehnto 4y agoIt did work, the doctor said he would have had a similar outcome from surgery. You van definitely feel where it fused, there is a bump there. I think because it was specifically the collarbone, they were able to set it with the surrounding musculature by just moving the arm and shoulder into place until it all lined up again. I was a pretty model patient though, I was terrified of moving the arm and so it likely did sit where it needed to the whole time. I imagine others may struggle with such a direction.
