Hey All,
Had a stupid training ride accident 2 weeks ago and broke my clavicle. In the ER they said it was bad but still decided not to do surgery and let the body do it’s job. Today got another x-ray after 2 weeks and the orthopedist says there is a 50/50 chance of non-union.
He suggest to wait 4 weeks then do surgery if need be but also said we could do it now if I decide so.
I don’t know what to do…. I don’t have much pain and can perform all my work duties (computer).
What would you do?
