Back in the day, I broke my right collar bone twice and my left once racing motocross. They snap like a pencil when the edge of the helmet contacts them when you hit the ground. After the first break, I always asked for surgery, but was always denied... Doc said as long as the broken ends of a collar bone are in the same room together they will heal. Missed some big races back in the day waiting 6+ weeks typically to heal. The stupid figure 8 braces pulled the outer section down and in so I have dogleg shaped collar bones that look ridiculous. I would have much rather have had them screwed/plated.
