In general, the current trend with clavicle fractures in adults is becoming to treat them more agressively with regards to surgery. This allows faster return to function and an increased chance of healing. The downside is the probable need for future surgery to remove whatever hardware was put in.  Return to play will be a decision to be made by your boyfriend and his doctors.
