How long heal after collarbone surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: There are several types of clavicle (aka collarbone) surgeries. Some common procedures consists of clavicle fractures, ac joints repairs, distal clavicle excisions, cyst/ spur removal, or acromioplasty (actually is part of the scapula). Recover time often depends on the extent of the work that has to be done. Can you be more specific in the type of procedure you are asking about.
