Anyone suffered from a broken Clavicle?!


Question: Anyone suffered from a broken Clavicle!?
I had an accident on my bike six weeks ago and had surgery joining it with a metal plate!. I had an Xray last week only to find that the plate has pulled out and the bone is no longer together!. My surgeon has said it will heal by itself if left long enough!. Personaly I cant see how it will heal properly as I now have a plate fixed to one part of the bone and the other half just hanging off the end!.and the bone it is supposed to be attatched to moved back!. Has anyone suffered a simmilar injury!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Nasty injury!.
I am an army ranger now retired for 18 years!. Got shot in the left Clavicle!. Practically broke the thing into a million pieces!.
I had wires, pins, and plates!. It did heal!. But you will have arthritis and degenerative bone disease most likely!. It is like when baseball pitchers tear there rotator cup, they can never pitch again!. Well, you will not be able to lift, your shoulder will dislocated!. It will be torture if you walk a dog who walks you!. I now, cannot lift my arm even with my chest!. Last week I dropped a cup of coffee!. Now my case may be extreme and your may never lead to any to this, accept pretty sure on the arthritis though!. But I was in the army for 18 years and do not blow smoke and tell it like it is!. These are all possibilities you MAY or MAY NOT have!. Doctors never tell the whole truth!. Bringing me to you main point!. If the bones need to be connected and touching to start to fuse back together and heal!. Then how can they fuse and heal if they are not touching!. I would get him to explain how they can fuse (use that word) back together if they are not touching!. If it heals wrong, then I would kill him when they need to re-break it to do it right!. Always get another opinion too!. Your entitled to it, so get one or even two!. If you feel strongly about it!. I would do that!. But that does not sound right!. Besides my clavicle!. I have been shot and stabbed leading to so many broken bones!. But they all need to be set somehow so they are touching one broken end to another so they fuse together and heal!. So how will yours heal, if they are not touching to fuse together and heal!. I would get an explanation, then get another opinion!. Maybe even go to an emergency room and say hey, my bone pulled off my plate and act like you in pain!. Then they will not get a hold of your doctor and just put it back together!. That is another possibility!. Hope this information is helpful!. But never trust a doctor, they think they know it all, get more opinions of just go to an emergency room and lie a bit and say you broke it and now you think is separated from the plate and let them re-connect it for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would get a second opinion, really!. The reason why is because, even it if can heal on its own, you may develop spurring, arthritis, and perhaps even scar tissue as you get older since the bone's edged weren't perfectly aligned and the plate broke away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Never anything so severe that required surgery but I did break my left clavicle and didn't have any medical attention to it!. It healed just fine on it's own so I wouldn't doubt your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

broken collar bone is the sorest bone to break in my opinionWww@Answer-Health@Com
