Clavicle (collar bone) Fracture

You have sustained a fracture to your clavicle (collar bone). This normally takes between 6-12 weeks to heal. You may use the arm in the meantime as explained in the protocol and indeed it is important to keep the shoulder moving to prevent stiffness but not to aggravate it.
