What Is the Treatment a Broken Collarbone?
Most clavicle shaft fractures or broken collarbones do not require surgery. Fractures with “significant” displacement or shortening (think 2cm) might benefit from surgery. Most athletes with a clavicle shaft fracture or a broken collarbone will return to sports within a few months – with or without surgery.
Treating a Clavicle Fracture
Fracture of unspecified part of right clavicle, initial encounter for closed fracture. S42. 001A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S42.

Clavicle fractures are classified into three types based on the location of the fracture: 1) near the sternum (least common), 2) near the AC joint (second most common), or 3) in the middle of the bone between the sternum and AC joint (most common).

acromial endThe orientation of the clavicle can be distinguished by its ends: a broad, flat acromial end (referred to as the lateral third); and a round pyramidal-like sternal end (referred to as the medial two-thirds).
Your clavicle (collarbone) is a long, thin, slightly curved bone that connects your arm to your body. It sits below your neck and is part of the front of your shoulder. It runs horizontally (from side to side). This bone connects your sternum in the middle of your ribcage to your shoulder blade (scapula).
A clavicle fracture is a break in the collarbone, one of the main bones in the shoulder. This type of fracture is fairly common, accounting for about 5% of all adult fractures. Most clavicle fractures occur when a fall onto the shoulder or an outstretched arm puts enough pressure on the bone that it snaps or breaks.
Midshaft Clavicle fractures are common traumatic injuries caused by a direct impact to the shoulder girdle and is most commonly seen in young, active adults.

The major causes of clavicular fractures are shoulder dystocia deliveries in vertex presentations and extended arms in breech deliveries[1]. It is usually associated with vigorous, forceful manipulation of the arm and shoulder. However, fracture of the clavicle may also occur in infants following normal delivery[2].
