If I hadn't had surgery to fix my collarbone, I'd have ended up lopsided. Around 300,000 people a year break their collarbone. In most cases, the bone will knit back together - but 9,000 patients with more serious fractures need a titanium plate inserted. Stephen Bennett, 53, talks about his experience
A broken collarbone, or fractured clavicle, is a common injury. It usually happens after a fall or a blow to the shoulder. It takes about six to eight weeks to heal in adults, and three to six weeks in children.The collarbone, or clavicle, is a long slender bone that runs from the breastbone to each of the shoulders.You should be able to feel it running across the top of your chest, just below your neck. It is connected to the breastbone and shoulder blade via tough bands of tissue called ligaments. cracked or broken collarbone will be extremely painful. There may also be: 1  swelling or tenderness around the injured area. 2  bruising to the skin. 3  bleeding if the bone has damaged the tissue and skin (this is rare). 4  numbness or pins and needles if nerves in the arm are injured.
