Suggest Treatment For Broken Upper Arm Of A New Born Baby
My sister had problems delivering my niece. My niece had ended up with an upper arm bone broken at delivery. The bone is completely broken into 2 pieces. They are sitting about 1 inch away from eachother, and not set together so the arm will mend correctly. Should the arm be set so the bone will heal correctly?
