Answer:
When I was 12, I was hit by a car. My left clavicle was broken also but, that was the least of my injuries. My scalp was open in 2 places so that was the doctors' main concern. Unfortunately, even though I told the doc's that my arm was hurting to the point that I couldn't bend it, they assured me I was just sore from the incident. I went back a week later w/the same problem and they found that my clavicle was broken. They said since it had been a week that they would let the bone heal on its own and sent me home in a sling.

There was an opening in the bone where a piece of my bone was separated. My bone grew anew and closed that gap, BUT, it fused w/the separated bone and you can see a slight rise in my clavicle but it is not very noticeable.
