This video helped me have a 100% recovery (non-surgical) after a mountainbike crash. The part where you mentioned overlapping / shoulder being pushed forward after healing gave me an idea. In very simple terms I kept my shoulder / shoulder blade pulled back so it wouldn't get stuck overlapping. I loaded up on calcium, vitamin D, collagen peptides, and regular protein powder + alot of healthy foods. Age 36 and within 2 weeks I had full range of motion. I was riding again after 8 weeks but honestly felt like I could have after 2 somehow, but wasn't going to risk rebreaking it while still fully mending. It's shaped a bit more like a Z than an S now and lumpy. However my shoulders are equidistant, same posture, and I have 100% full strength & range of motion.

Same here, i just got a clavicule fracture about a month ago and going through conservative (non surgery) treatment, theres some probabilities that a slight malunion (below 2cm) will occur and my doctor says its fine. My concern is how about the streghtness of the bone in the future, will it be as strong as normal bones or fracture that going through surgerical treatment?

Did the brace work? My husband has a distal third clavicle fracture too. It happend about a week and a half ago, doctor has recommended surgery and a plate. Trying to decide whether to let it heal itself or do the surgery. Any recommendations? He is not in a lot of pain but there is a small lump on his shoulder now :/

@@d121n9 Hi, I opted not to get the surgery. It took about six months to heal completely. My shoulder is fully functional and has full range of motion now. But I still have a bump where the bone hasn't gone back into place, and it does seem like my shoulder is a tiny bit shorter on that side now. Probably not noticeable to most people but I can see there is a slight difference.

Hi there, Thank you for your question. Here is a response from Dr. Silver. Sorry we didn't catch your question right away but hopefully other folks will find this useful -- "Good question! A fracture that is “displaced” generally means that the ends of the bone at the fracture are not in contact with each other. The more separated the ends of the bone are (more displaced), the more likely surgeons are to recommend surgical treatment. Another factor in determining whether surgery is needed is comminution. Comminution refers to the presence of several separate pieces of bone from the fracture. Comminuted fractures are less likely to heal and surgeons are more likely to recommend treating them surgically. Ultimately, a lot of factors need to be considered when deciding whether or not to treat a clavicle fracture with surgery; most of the time this is best done in person at the time of an office visit."

@Moheeb if you complain that you have pain in your shoulder,neck, back or chest that is related to the injured side they should offer surgery. I was put in a fig 8 brace and my "healing" process took a year before they had to operate due to shortening, and an overlapping non-union. Took a total of 2 years to return to a state of not feeling pain from it anymore. Muscle atrophy is a BITCH. I finally just got back to where I was before the incident 4 years ago.

Bro i do also have a clavicle collarbone fructure, and its one month now, i have brace on my shoulder and still im not removing it, di pa ako makapunta ng orto kasi lockdown ngaun.. I dont have yet any idea, ang ginagawa kolang diko masyado ginagalaw balikat ko, nung una akala ko kasi dislocate lang ang ginagawa ko iniikot ikot ko balikat ko wich is masama pala kasi inopen ko un sa doktor nung last na punta ko sa qc banawe ang sabi nia lalo kolang daw pinaglalayo buto ko, ayun since then diko na sya iniikot ikot.. At wala panaman sinabing dapat operahan.. Kasi magseself healing naman, so kapag nakapaunta na ulit ako ng orto at nag pa xray dun ko palang malalaman kung may healing na nangyare sa fructure ko..

I had a fracture in the middle and x-rays done a week later showed the bone was still seperated. I was told to keep wearing the sling and to minimise movement for four weeks. After four weeks the bone was still seperated so I was told that I should have surgery. This occured a week later and I'm in my third week of recovery. The post surgery pain was pretty bad for two days but I feel improvement now. I have to wear the sling for three more weeks. It's a painful injury to deal with, good luck to you mate.

@@zoozu2067 Hi, I go for my new x-rays on Friday. Sunday will be 6 weeks from fracture. Almost pain free since last week. Here in Canada, our Provincial health coverage is too cheap to offer surgery unless it's the worst break possible. After such a long ordeal, I'm hoping for no surgery now. Can't do another month of pain and sling again. Wish me luck..

I want to know why this paper goes against the gold standard of clavical fracture treatment, which is none surgery. The description of the findings of the scientific paper here is so generic its useless. Why not put the link up to the paper so we can read it ourselves? knowing about sample size, age group, degree of fracture separation, overlap, and a whole bunch of variables would be informative.
