dont need correction unless very angulated. you should keep ur arm in a collar and cuff sling for 3 weeks then get it out and see a physio

Answer 3

I broke my clavicle the last part of June. Ortho. doctor will wont to wait until the bone would heal (for an adult about 6-10 weeks). They will continue to take xrays to check the progress. Did they do an MRI? You might possibly have also torn the rotator cuff as well. I have surgery tomorrow to have a plate and screws on the clavicle and to repair a torn rotator cuff. Is the bone broke or dislocated? Not to scare you but yes, it will hurt for a moment when it reconnects. Good luck.
