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
Humans have two collarbones: right and left ones. A broken (fractured) collarbone is a relatively common injury, particularly in children and young adults, because the bone doesn't completely harden until adulthood (about the age of 20). Common causes of collarbone fractures include falls, sports injuries and trauma from motor vehicle accidents.
