Broken Collar Bone HELP ***Xrays Included***
I went on a snowboarding trip to Colorado and on Wednesday 3/10 I fell and broke my collar bone (right). I went to the ER got Xray's of my Shoulder and sure enough it was confirmed broken. I know the break is not all the way through the Clavicle, but some friends suggest that my Shoulder itself could be broken as well or just displaced. Here are the Xray's please give me all your info possible. I'm going to an orthopedic specialist where I live this Friday.

Hello!
I would suggest you to try conservative therapy as fractures of clavicle unite readily even if widely displaced; hence reduction of the fragment is not essential.
You would need a triangular sling bandage or a figure of 8 bandages.
Take care
