A member asked:
30 yrs old, broke clavicle skiing in feb. just broke again bowling! close to original fracture. any ideas on how this is possible, given my age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clavicle fracture: Are you sure it was healed from original fracture? Sometimes you can have a clavicular nonunion (never healed), but can aggravate the nonunion and will cause pain. It may have never healed in the first place, but then became asymptomatic, then it became symptomatic while bowling.
