Common issue & rx: The collar bone is one of the most common ones broken in humans. The collar bone itself is in a flexible tube of material that helps it stay in place. At most the affected persons are placed in a sling or brace that holds shoulders back to put the bone in a better position to heal. Jagged fragments that might puncture the lung or never align might warrant an operation.
