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.

Follow-up with an orthopedist (bone doctor) is recommended for all clavicle fractures. How long your collarbone will take to heal depends on: 1  Where the break in the bone is (in middle or at the end of the bone). 2  If the bones are aligned. 3  Your age. 4  Children may heal in 3 to 6 weeks. 5  Adults may need up to 12 weeks.
