There has been a visible loss of trapezius muscle since I fractured my clavicle 6 weeks ago. Is it normal to have a loss of muscles on fractured side. How long will it take to become normal.

It may happen as the muscle is not being used properly due to fracture. After your fracture is completely healed then slowly it will come back to normal.

Dear lybrate-user, it is common to get muscle weakness after fracture. Kindly start doing strengthening exercises to your shoulder.
