Research articles suggest that figure of 8 brace has minimal role in conservative management of displaced clavicle fractures . Ideally you should take x-rays before and after wearing the brace, to know if bone ends are in contact to each other or not.
Next Steps
with conservative management you may not get original length and / or alignment.
Health Tips
share x-rays post brace application. surgery adviced if you want almost normal clavicle and early rehabilitation.
