When to Radiate and When to Stop? Timing Radiographic Surveillance During Nonoperative Treatment of Pediatric Diaphyseal Clavicle Fractures

Conservative management of most pediatric clavicle fractures is standard. Despite a predictable nonoperative course, evidence about the timeliness of healing is lacking. The goal of this study was to identify when radiographic signs of healing should be expected during routine conservative management of closed pediatric diaphyseal clavicle fractures.
