Clavicle
Posted: 02-20-04 12:54pm

Hi I broke my collar bone about 2 and 1/2 months ago and the doctor never placed the bones back together so now one part of the bone is over the other part of the bone and the calcium deposit formed in a area before the break

You can not really "set" the collar bone. The problem is there is no way to cast it. So when it is broken the muscles attached to the clavicle often pull it up.

You also will get calcuim deposits formed no matter what. That is a normal part of healing. Sometimes you can get too much and it will cause a problem!
