Clavicle fractures, or broken collarbones, are typically treated without surgery. There is some evidence, though, to suggest that clavicle fractures may heal faster and more predictably when surgical repair is done.
There are reasons for either treatment approach. Most fractures of the clavicle heal well with rest and a sling, but specific features about the break—and your overall health—may mean surgery is warranted.
