Transverse fracture mid third of the right clavicle with cephalad angulation. how long will take to heal? can he use his right hand to write?

It depends: A bit of displacement is ok, generally more than 2 cm is open to question. Open reduction and plate and screw fixation used more and more foe complex or badly displaced fractures, as well as considerations of employment etc.
