What is the recovery time for clavicle plate surgery?
Healing Time The clavicle or collarbone treated with surgery takes about 3 months to heal completely. If too much activity is done too early the metal plate can break before bone is healed. Younger patients heal slightly faster and older patients or those with diabetes take slightly longer to heal.
