If your husband has a clavicle fracture, surgery may or may not be necessary depending on the severity of the fracture and other factors. In general, if the fracture is displaced (meaning the broken ends of the bone are not lined up), if there are multiple fractures, or if the fracture is close to the sternum (breastbone), surgery may be recommended to help the bone heal properly.
However, if the fracture is not displaced, your husband may be able to heal with nonsurgical treatments such as immobilization with a sling or brace, pain management, and physical therapy.
It is important to discuss with your doctor about the severity of the fracture, your husband's overall health, and the potential risks and benefits of surgery versus non-surgical treatments. The decision to proceed with surgery ultimately depends on individual factors and should be made in consultation with a medical professional.
