 | | If the clavicle is broken and does not form a union, then, after the healing process has completed, the most likely source of discomfort is action of the flailing bone ends on the surrounding nerves. | | | The normal treatment for a broken clavicle is simply to keep the arm in a sling or clavicular rings (or similar variants) for 2-3 weeks. | | | An important point to remember is that, unlike the bones such as the femur, clavicles are not a mechanical necessity. |

| | Fracture of the clavicle (collar bone) - DynoMed.com |
| | Your clavicle bone or “collar bone” connects the scapula bone in your shoulder to your sternum in your chest. Its function is to hold the shoulder upward and backward. | | | Patients with broken clavicles will usually be able to exercise their shoulders after three weeks of immobilization. | | | If asked to lift their arm, patients with a broken clavicle cannot do so without extreme pain. |

| | Clavicle Fracture |
| | The most common mechanism of injury for a clavicle fracture is falling on the tip of the shoulder or a direct blow to the front of the shoulder. | | | Most physicians will order a standard shoulder series consisting of: an anteroposterior (AP) view with the humerus in internal rotation, an AP view with the humerus in external rotation, an axillary lateral view, and a scapulolateral view. | | | The figure 8 brace holds the shoulders in a retracted position. |

| | A broken collarbone is a break in the clavicle, the bone in your upper chest that connects your breastbone (sternum) to part of your shoulder blade (scapula). | | | You should speak to your physician or make an appointment to be seen if you have questions or concerns about this information or your medical condition. | | | Your health care provider may take another x-ray to be sure that the bone has healed. |

| | In contrast to condensing osteitis of the clavicle, this condition is more common in older patients and in men, is usually bilateral, and often is accompanied by lesions of the palms and soles ((pustulosis palmaris et plantaris). | | | On radiographs bone sclerosis and mild enlargement may be observed at the inferomedial aspect of the clavicle, with osteophytes in the inferior margin of the clavicular head. | | | Fractures of the distal part of the clavicle result from a force applied on the shoulder driving the humerus and scapula downward. |

| | clavicle, fractured |
| | A common method of treatment is stabilization of the clavicle with a so-called figure-of-eight splint, which holds the shoulders smartly back and keeps pressure off the broken ends of the clavicle. | | | It is the result of passage of the second widest part of the body, the shoulder girdle, through a narrow birth canal. | | | This pair of bones attaches to the sternum at the midline of the body and serves to stabilize the width between the shoulders to enable us to hang by our arms, among other fascinating functions. |

| | NDI Terminology - clavicle |
| | Most fractures occur as a result of a fall onto the shoulder or an outstretched arm. | | | The ligaments that link the clavicle to the sternum and scapula are very strong, which explains why the clavicle is rarely dislocated but frequently broken. | | | When the clavicle is broken, the arm tends to sag and must be supported by a sling and a figure-of-eight bandage to keep the broken ends together until the fracture has healed, which may require six to 12 weeks of immobilization. |
