Other frequent causes are falls and car, motorcycle or bike accidents. The time for a broken collarbone to fully heal depends on the severity of the injury. In children, complete healing may take as little as three to six weeks. In adults, six to 16 weeks or more are often necessary for a collarbone to heal solidly. Unfortunately, during that time there is no way to completely immobilize a collarbone fracture to keep it from moving and, thus, speed healing, as can be done using a cast on other broken bones, such as a wrist, arm or leg.
After 10 to 14 days of wearing the sling, the fracture will stabilize and have new bone growth at the injury site. Your child may feel a bump on the collarbone. This is normal; it means that the fracture has healed.The bump will get smaller over the next year, but it may not disappear completely.fter 10 to 14 days of wearing the sling, the fracture will stabilize and have new bone growth at the injury site.
