I had a clean break on mine. If I had not had surgery I believe my shoulder would have been a centimeter or two lower. So I got a plate and 7 screws.
Am I right to understand that had I not gotten the surgery my shoulder would’ve likely returned to the normal position?
- ghufran_syed 2y agousually it shouldn’t affect position or function of the shoulder once healed, and while the clavicle does tend to heal with a “bump” in it at the site of the break, its long been thought that the risk of surgery at that site outweighs the benefit. But it does depend on the specifics of the fracture: https://www.orthobullets.com/trauma/1011/clavicle-fractures--midshaft https://www.orthobullets.com/trauma/1011/clavicle-fractures-...
