So i broke my collar bone on aug 5, they waited 10 days for the check up to then tell me that I needed surgery, so the next day I have surgery with a plate an a bunch of screws and get ready to start recovery. My question is for others with the same injury, how long should this recovery take? When should I be good to go back on the bike? I have been out of the sling since sep. 4.
At a race about 8 weeks ago crashed bad breaking same one again this time only in half but still bad enough had have fixed, 5 weeks later I rode and was fine before my 2nd check up at 6 weeks had that and everything looked good bone not 100% filled on but 3/4 way there I can barely tell it even happened now still have to be careful lifting anything heavy till I go back in 3 weeks.
You'll be fine !
The University of Utah Ortho center is one of the best IMO.
The Shop
Maybe that's because I quit going to the doctor after the third one, and would just go home and throw on the figure-eight brace and sling.
