Hi, I have clavicle fracture on my right shoulder collar bone in middle part. I wear shoulder sling to heal that fractured bone, how long does it take for this fracture to heal properly? Do I need to wear arm support along with sling regularly? And healing of bone is n not visible in xray even after three weeks, is it normal? Please let me know.

It usually take 3-4 months for a visible fracture union in an Xray But do not worry In a clavicle fracture usually 4-6 weeks of brace is sufficient for early pain relief and rehabilitation then on you will be free of d brace Good luck.
