How Long It Takes To Heal Broken Clavicle?

my son broke his clavicle almost 2months ago. last time we went to the hopital the doctor said there is not much healing and we should go back in 6 weeks but my son is very worried. How long should it take to heal if the bone does not seem to be in alignment

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Most clavicle fractures heal within 4 to 8 weeks.
Physical therapy may help with rehabilitation.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
