Clavicle fracture
Can you keep playing sport after a clavicle fracture?
Author: Dr. Jiwu Chen
Doctor’s answer
During the acute phase, loading the injured arm and contact sport should stop. Surgery depends on displacement, comminution, skin risk, neurovascular status, and sport demands. Return to sport requires fracture healing and recovery of shoulder motion and strength.
