A member asked:
Whats the difference between a broken collar bone and a fractured one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clavicle: A broken collar bone and fracture are really the same. You can have a seperation of the clavicle from the sternum. That is different. As always ask your doctor to explain what they found on x-ray to you. Ask them to explain when family are present to help remind you later. Be well. Always wear a seat belt.
