How to Treat a Broken Collarbone with a Clavicle Brace

BraceAbility presents tips on broken collarbone recovery, featuring a convenient clavicle brace that doubles as a posture support - braceability.com/products/figure-8-clavicle-bra…

The collarbone is one of the most commonly broken or fractured bones in the body. This injury is typically seen among younger children or people who spend a lot of time playing high contact sports like football, soccer, wrestling, rugby, and more. A broken collarbone can be caused by trauma such as car crashes, severe falls, or sports injuries.

The straps of this collarbone brace are fairly wide, making it a great solution for clavicle injuries. Narrower versions are not recommended for such injuries. The figure 8 brace helps to keep the collarbone area immobilized by wrapping around both shoulders and the neck to hold the shoulders back and up. These wide straps may feel uncomfortable at first, but it will give you the appropriate level of stabilization that is needed.

This figure 8 brace keeps both shoulders back and stabilizes them rather than a sling which generally just keeps one side stabilized. You can also have full mobility of your hands when wearing a figure 8 brace versus a sling.
