Thats four guys I know have broken collarbones biking this year. One was a motorbike crash so maybe that doesn't count although the upset was at very slow speed. Two on bikes in the last few weeks with pics of what looks like a Home Hardware fastener bin in the xrays. Note to self.....
Hope you are better soon Mike!!

Bummer!!!!
Hi Mike, get well soon, lots of horsetail silica, vit c and vit d3 drops will help you uptake the building blocks you need to repair the bone. Cheers Tim

Compounded fractured mine too. 4 weeks of hell. 4 weeks of slowly improving whereupon i was mobile couple more weeks and i was active again albeit with some pain.
Heals stronger than original. Not like a separated or dislocated at all, once you do either of those your shoulders are problematic from then on.
Get used to sleeping on your back Dave.
Good luck.

hey ! thanks for the healing tips and kind thoughts. 3 weeks in and it's feeling a lot better . Surgeon visit today. "xray looks good". Sling gone. Next milestone ... not having to sleep on my back - that's the worst thing 
New xray .. staples and pacman thing are gone
cheers... Mike

Looking good there Mike! now, what to with your new accessory. I found this article that discuses the pros and cons. My own plate seems to have no significant issues, even after a few backpacking trips this summer. I have yet to go through an airport metal detector! 
Is removal of clavicle plate after fracture union necessary?

hmmm ... In my case, I was recommended to go with the latest tech -- the dis-solvable plate n screws, so they melt away after a year or so. No need to remove. I heard they still had some old inventory up in Duncan, with the titanium stuff. Maybe you got that? 
but really ... looks like a wait and see. I'm not too keen to be opened up again ... although, there was this one nurse ....
