I had clavicle fracture about 6 months ago on right side with 9 mm gap Initially I was informed it takes about 3 months reunite the bone. I was asked wear sling and brace on shoulder, after a month there waa no pain gap was still the same. Doctor advised me remove the sling and start little movement. After 3 months gap was still the same and doctor recommended me for surgery. Then I consulted another doctor who advised not go for surgery. Recommended to wear sling and brace for two and no movement from right shoulder. I followed the same. I see new bone is growing but gap is still there. Its been over 6 months now. Not sure if have to go for surgery and if leave the gap as it is does it going to affect it long term.
