Re: medical advice needed - sternum/clavicle

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Maybe consult with a orthopedist/sports ortho who specializes in

shoulders. Perhaps Physical Therapy may help with Yohan's arm and range of

motion, and stop that popping out.

I think an orthopedic surgeon might be the appropriate specialist to address the

possibilities of bracing.  I have scoliosis of the spine and was treated by an

orthopedic specialist at your son's age.  However, if his shifting bones have

created other issues, like breathing, then a different type of specialist, like

a pulmonary specialist, may also be in order.

 

To find a board certified specialist...

You mentioned you are taking him to see " Dr. Newton " .  If this is Dr.

Newton, then he is a board certified orthopedic surgeon!  So, it sounds like you

are already on the right path!
