Clavicle Fracture

The clavicle or collarbone connects one's shoulder and arm to the main trunk. A clavicle fracture is a rather uncommon type of fracture and occurs when something falls over to the bone or the arm gets distorted in a way that puts pressure on the collarbone. For healing a clavicle fracture, the doctor may immobilize the entire arm and the collar bone with a cast and sling to restrict movement. But if the broken ends are widely displaced or crushed, one may need surgery.
