Hey Everyone..
just looking to see if anyone has experienced this or know someone that has. My little cousin is 5'7'', and in the 10th grade. He was tackled and fell thus breaking his collar bone. His Dad is in the army and the military doctors are saying he does not need surgery and that the bones will be reconnected by cartilidge. There is a gap between the break and that this will be reconnected by cartilidge.
He was told by an outside Ortho doctor....that surgery should be performed....and that the best way for this to heal is by inserting something to connect the bones and allowing the cartilidge to then form around the connected bones.
Any comments or suggestions ?
