A member asked:
Clavicle fracture,2week passed and not healed and also separated more,could keeping at fixed state still may cause healing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It will heal: The orthopedists have a saying about clavicle fractures: as long as the two ends of the bone are in the same room, it'll heal. Joking aside, clavicle nonunion is extremely rare. Continue using your sling, and avoid contact sports. Healing will take 6-8 weeks. Hope this helps!
