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.owever, it will take at least the same period again to restore full strength to your shoulder. While the fracture heals, a lump may develop along the collarbone. This is normal and often improves over the following months. Occasionally, the fracture doesn't heal (non-union) and you may need to have surgery.
