Questions about broken collarbone
Finally saw my ortho today 5 days after breaking collarbone. The fracture was displaced 3 CM. He basically said there are two options: surgery or let it heal on it’s own. Surgery would heal quicker, while it could take a couple of months on its own and leave me with a lump. Doc said in both cases functionality should return, though there’s a small risk of not healing if I let it go on it’s own.
Does anyone have experience with this? I’m okay skipping surgery as long as functionality eventually returns.
