These features and more make this kids� arm sling a comfortable and effective product for recovering from shoulder surgery and injuries including: Clavicle fracture (broken collarbone) Shoulder dislocation or subluxation Shoulder strain Fractured arm Rotator cuff injury Broken Clavicle Splint for Youth Two of the most common shoulder injuries among children and adolescents include a break to their humerus (upper arm) or clavicle (collarbone) bone. The more common of the two injuries being broken collarbones since that bone is not well protected by fat or other tissue. Both of these breaks are often caused by a fall onto an outstretched arm or a direct hit to your child�s bone.
