Dislocated collar bone is probably not the best term to use. You can have an AC joint separation which causes the collar bone look "popped up", which really causes the acromiom to be depressed. Or you can separate your clavicle from the sternum, which is less common. Either where there are criteria for clavicle fractures and AC joint separations to follow for treatment of these injuries. Typically it involves rest and physical therapy. In less cases, patients are taken to surgery if there is some rotational component, great amount of shortening, or disruption in the skin.
