I have broke my both of my collar bones (broke my left one twice) back in my motocross racing days. It is quite common in MX as the lower edge of ones helmet contacts the clavicle and snaps it like a pencil in a hard fall.
Both of my X-rays looked nearly identicle to yours and I just wore the stupid strap braces that hold your shoulders back. I often have thought about designing a better brace as the strap typically would rest right in the area of the break which kind of tends to ensure a messed up clump of misaligned bone mass there.
The ER docs when questioned about surgery, would always claim that broken collar bones heal if they are in the same room together. I am proof that they are right, but mine are quite ugly.
I broke mine in the late 80's and early 90's and just turned 40. So far, I have not experienced any problems due to these old injuries, although arthritis in the area where the clavicle meets the shoulder someday would not suprise me.
