A member asked:
Will a collar bone fracture ever heal on its own?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The clavicle (collar bone) will usually heal quite readily unless some soft tissue got caught inbetween the ends of the bone at the time of the injury. If a fracture is still sore after 3 months, it may mean that it has not united like it should. Ask your doctor about a bone growth stimulator or surgery.
