When is surgery necessary for a fractured clavicle bone?
not necessarily, it really depends on the fracture. you have to get an xray and if the broken parts of the clavicle are to far apart they wont heal on their own (nonunion) and surgery may be required. surgery may entail a plate and screws or a pin/rod of some sort. I suggest if you get surgery to get the rod. If you get the plate and screws you will have more healing to do after the surgery to remove it seeing as there will be holes in the bone...its like having two healing processes.
