Clavicle Fracture (Broken Collarbone)
A clavicle fracture is also known as a broken collarbone. 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. A broken collarbone can be very painful and can make it hard to move your arm.
Symptoms of Broken Collarbones
- Sagging of the shoulder downward and forward
- Inability to lift the arm because of pain
- A grinding sensation when you try to raise the arm
- A deformity or "bump" over the break
- Bruising, swelling, and/or tenderness over the collarbone
To learn more about clavicle fractures, contact Dr. Jay Deimel to set up an appointment.
