Understanding Collar Bone Fractures
A collar bone fracture is a common injury that can occur at any age. It typically happens due to falls, sports injuries, or traumatic events such as car accidents. The clavicle, commonly known as the collar bone, is a critical structure in the shoulder region and its integrity is essential for arm mobility.
Symptoms of a Collar Bone Fracture
- Sharp pain in the shoulder area
- Swelling and tenderness over the collar bone
- Inability to move the arm without pain
- A bulge on or near the shoulder
- A grinding sensation when you try to lift the arm
