scapula

[kirstdavis]

I've got a question about a broken clavicle. I did it 2 days ago and the bone is overlapping now by about an inch although the broken ends are not touching each other. I was told at the trauma clinic that they were going to just leave it to heal naturally but I want to know if that is sensible - surely that will leave the shoulder uneven in length and a lump showing. Is this the best decision for the long term future and if it needs pinning when is this best done? It's my right shoulder and I'm right handed. Can you advise me on the best way to get out of bed please. ps Mum typed this for me!
