I broke mine when I was 29 in a motorcycle accident. My
break was almost dead center but the two ends ended up very
far apart. I wore a clavicle harness for 7 months during
which time the two piece formed a fibrous union. It took 3
years for everything to pull together and calcify. It was
kind of weird feeling-- after it formed the union, while it
was healing, the bone was flexible at the union. I had to be
careful lifting or exerting myself or my collar bone would
seem to bend.
