Look up Sete Giberneau from MotoGP - 3 surgeries to repair a broken collarbone this year, plate #1 wasn't strong enough and and needed to be replaced by plate #2 when he tweaked it going down again.

Just last weekend he was collected on track and went back to Spain where in surgery #3 on the season they took stem cells from his hip and injected them into the fractured area (same collarbone, sam fracture area) in an effort to reinforce the area.

Other than that, never had the problem. Is the healing time different with either with plate vs. natural?
