7 Weeks Post Displaced Clavicle Fracture (Conservative Treatment) — How Does My Healing Look?
27M. Had a displaced/comminuted mid-shaft clavicle fracture treated non-surgically with brace + sling. I’m now around 7 weeks post injury. Mobility has improved a lot and I can raise my arm overhead, but I still get some shoulder joint/muscle ache and stiffness occasionally, especially after overuse or sleeping awkwardly.
Attached is my latest X-ray (~1 month 20 days). Does this look like normal healing progression for conservative treatment? Curious to hear opinions from people who had similar fractures and how long it took before things felt fully solid/normal again.
