What does it mean when a man has broken collar bone?

Sling for 4-8 wks: Clavicle (collarbone) fractures are one of the most commonly broken bones. The majority are treated non-surgical with a sling, shoulder immob, or figure 8 splint. Clavicle can accept a fair amount of displacement prior to requiring surgery. The healing time is 2-4 months depending on age (younger = faster).

Collar bone: This bone is called the clavicle. The treatment for the fracture depends on where the bone is fractured and how displaced the fragments are. It can be treated with either a sling or surgery. This needs to be discussed with an orthopedist.
