Ouch, that hurts. Got to enjoy collarbone/rib/shoulder blade break almost exactly 2 years ago.

No surgery? Make sure that thing heals straight! Z-shaped collarbones aren't comfortable I hear. But neither is my Ti plate.

That sucks. Heal well and fast. I have a z-shaped heal on my left collarbone and I'm considering getting it shaved down. If you have a chance, have them pin it or plate it, I wish I did.

Broke mine twice, healed without surgery and no discomfort...I guess it depends on the break if you need to have surgery!

Dang. I'm sure that makes you feel like a not-so-wise dog. Hope you heal well and fast!
