I am suffering from right clavicle fracture. I got it one month later due to a bike accident amd my doctor tight n me with a clavicle brace and a hand sling. Kindly suggest me the precautions after collar bone healing and how much more time it will take to heal properly.

Dear lybrate-user Clavicle breaks often and easily when you fall and try to break your fall with an outstretched hand. It unites and heals as quickly. Even if it bends a bit it works perfectly. Rest your arm in a sling or brace for three weeks and then start moving it out of the brace. Can lift upto 5 kg weight after three weeks and increase by one kilo every week. By three months you can do anything. Do an X ray at 3 and 6 weeks and show a orthopaedic.
