You all must have been so scared...so sorry this happened. Thank God for helmets. Mine saved my life when i got hit by a car last year.

Oh wow. They hurt like crazy. She's a pretty tough kid.

Don't be surprised if ortho suggests a plate for her clavicle. They can line it up, put the plate on and she'll be able to recover and get back to normal life quicker. They can take it back out later if she wants. It's just under the skin. It's so much better than walking around with a big lump there or having shoulder misalignment problems later in life. The surgery is usually under 2 hrs and most likely, around 1. I was just in one today. It really is worth it. She'll just have a scar running along bone length, usually 3-4" long.


Good luck and take pics of the x-rays for us!
