If a child falls and lands on the floor with his/her hands.. is it possible that it could cause a slight fracture to the collarbone?

Depends on situation: The collar bone is one of the most often broken bones of the body.It is often cracked after a fall with the kid falling at an angle that involves falling more toward one shoulder.
