How long will a collar bone take to heal after surgery?

4-6 weeks: Most typical collarbone fractures take 4-6 weeks to heal, as long as there isn't significant displacement of the site of the break. Surgery usually isn't required. The patient is usually left with a small "knot" at the fracture site. This is called a callus, and is normal/expected. The patient usually has complete function once the fracture heals.

4-6 weeks: At six weeks it will be about 60%.

At least 6 weeks: Healing time for clavicle fractures is typically slower than many other fractures in the body. In an adult (16 years and older) usually it takes a minimum of 6 weeks for fracture healing, although many take upwards of 2-3 months. Typically surgery allows for quicker healing compared to nonsurgical management, particularly in fractures that are not well aligned.
