Sounds like a typical 'fobbing off' job. Tennnis is crazy. Have you got a recent x-ray to show us? The NHS love the old rest it in a collar and cuff sling and it will be alright. That is, you'll be left with a permanently non-united fracture. As 16 I would say a fixation is almost more beneficial than in an older patient who may not be wanting to pursue overhead activities (although that does include sleeping!).
Where in the UK are you based?

Hi, Just went to the physio therapy today. He examined me and told me the treatments they could provide. This included an Ultrasound, Heat Friction and taping. I had the heat fricion today which invovled gel substance applied round the area then a machine device rubbed onto it. Now its a bit more sore then usual so hopefully its doing the trick but he said it will take a few weeks to see an improvement.
