Clavicle (Collarbone) Fracture

We review displacement and risks for your activity goals, then tailor sling use and progressive shoulder motion.

Sling 2–4 weeks; early elbow/hand motion; shoulder motion as pain allows.

Healing ~6–12 weeks; athletes need phased return.

Sling/Brace; Physical Therapy; Cast Care

Often treated non‑operatively with sling and focused rehab.

Surgical fixation for significant displacement/shortening or skin risk.

Localized pain, swelling, shoulder droop; visible bump sometimes.

Numbness/tingling, skin tenting, shortness of breath—urgent care.
