Comminuted clavicle fx/surg recovery

16 yr old son broke it into 3 parts (football). Surg next Mon AM. Not a simple fx that only requires immobilization. His clavicle looks like a Z. Doc says recovery is faster actually with a plate. Says he can start non-contact running etc in 4 wks. Anyone here have this surgery? What was your experience? Son of course wants to know when he can resume playing. Thx.

He will have a sling for comfort for short of of time (few days wearing as needed). Shoulder motion as tolerated. Probably would give him a weight limit considering he's a 16 yo who would take weight bearing as tolerated to the extreme. Likely no contact for 8-12 weeks depending on X-ray/healing.

I had a very similar break almost 2 years ago to the day from a car accident. I’m mid 20’s and was in incredibly good shape and had a plate and screws put in to repair my clavicle. The surgery was successful, but it took almost a year and a half before the inflammation went away and I could exercise again without pain. I would recommend doing the thrower’s 10 and going to physical therapy if needed. As frustrating as it is, the biggest thing with a broken collar bone is patience
