Fractured Clavicle in a Newborn
A fractured collarbone in a newborn is one of the bone injuries that can occur during delivery, especially when it is difficult or the baby is larger. It usually affects the bone that connects the shoulder with the sternum.
How it presents: the baby may move the arm on the affected side less, show discomfort when the area is touched, or cry when it is moved; in many cases it is detected during the exam after birth.
Which specialist treats it? The neonatologist and pediatrician assess the newborn and follow up on how it progresses; in later stages the physical therapist may get involved to support mobility. If you have any doubt about the movement of your baby's arm, the most prudent thing is to bring it up at an appointment for a proper evaluation.
