Ok: This is something that would need to be done with a face to face clinical exam and review of your x-ray. Good luck. Best to get the opinion form an orthopedic dr.

See another doc: See another orthopedic doctor who can examine you and look at your x-ray and give you a second opinion. Most fractured collar bones do not require surgery.
