One alternative form of therapy for clavicle fracture is:
Open reduction of fracture with silver wiring of opposed bone.
I received this surgery for a fractured r. clavicle at age 12,
and have had absolutely no problems with it in the last 55 years,
despite weight-lifting, football, basketball, tennis, etc.
