A member asked:
I was scratching my collarbone very deep and hard for like 100 times. it was hurting so bad. can this cause collarbone fracture? please explain.

Basically no: It would take such extreme force of scratching and/or such extremely low bone density that your clavicular fracture is almost certainly related to something else.

No: While you may sustain superficial and deep scratches and possible infection you cannot break a non osteoporotic bone by scratching
