Message: [QUOTE="Mike Hubert, post: 575010, member: 22855"] Contrary to popular opinion bones do not need to be imobilized to heal. They will slowly build a a sticky goo at the break site that will harden over time. I have broken 3 collar bones and never bothered with slings, or wrappings of any kind and they have healed fine, they look nasty but they healed fine. My Opthopedic Surgeon told me that collar bones left alone will heal strong at least 95% of the time, surgery actually reduces the healing odds if only done for cosmetic reasons. [/QUOTE]
