Won't need any surgery, Doc didn't even give me any pills. The only thing he prescribed was this Super Sling. It's some serious hardware! Oh and he advised me to take 2 grams of calcium a day...

My son broke his clavicle twice! The first time was an emergency room visit and they did the same - sling and he took Ibuprofen. Second time - ski patrol told to go to the emergency room but we drove home and got his old sling out. Next day went to the doctor and repeated the same process again.

BTW both occurrences happen at ski areas - Owl's Head and Bolton Valley and at the most injury prone time of day between 3 and 4 PM.
