Hello!

For any clavicle or collar bone fractures or dislocations there is no necessary for any intervention surgery without complications.

Fractures of clavicle unite readily even if widely displaced, hence reduction is also not essential and a triangular sling bandage or a figure of 8 bandages is sufficient. Active exercises should have been started after couple of weeks or after healing.

Go for latest scans and if you have any complications then surgery may be required.

Take care!
