70岁患者,锁骨骨折保守治疗后两个月,骨折端明显畸形,但患者没有疼痛等其他任何不适,上肢功能满意:Treat the patient, not the X-rays!
This patient is in her 70’s. She’s 2 months post injury and sent in for surgical consultation. She has an obvious deformity. But she has no pain with palpation of the fracture site, and near full range of motion. No real complaints. Surgery will not improve her function (since she’s already doing so well!).Treat the patient, not the X-rays.
