Hi there It can take 4-8 weeks for a fractured collar bone to unite. You just need to increase calcium intake in diet and take rest. As your collar bone must have been stabilised by orthopedic doctor by using figure of 8 bandage or a sling to stabilize your collar bone. Don't try unnecessary movements. You won't be having any problem in future don't worry. It can be small problems like pain or less range of motion of nearby joints but it's rare. You might not affect with any future problem. Physiotherapy might be needed after healing of your fracture depending on the situation. Get well soon.
