Clavicular fracture: Failure to decrease motion around a fracture results in poor healing and non union. Suggest efforts to immobilize as much as you can

Should heal: Most clavicle fractures heal very well without any specific intervention. They can be VERY painful. Recommend follow up with your treating provider with possible re-xray if needed to document fracture position/change. Hope this helps. Know these are painful..had a few myself in the past. Best of luck. Dr R
