9 weeks out

Riding off in...not really heading toward a sunset yet. As you can see I don't really get too far on my rides. An hour in the morning. Maybe another in the afternoon. Yep. At 9 weeks and still no for sure signs of a bony union. I've spent hours studying the web for info on clavicle breaks. Basically the old school would not touch 'em. The new school considers delayed or non-unions much earlier in the game. My doctor did not want to prescribe a bone stimulator yet. Thanks doc. Seems like clavicle breaks are not so straight forward these days. High velocity impacts cause a lot of trauma to the area and sometimes the bones start forming scar tissure before they get the message to form bone. In spite of this I'm OPTIMISTIC! Bones take time to heal. The general range in two to six months. Doc said surgery would be considered at six months. Six months. Well I'm at two months one week. Not even a consideration. Surgery does come with complications due to all the sensitive bits that sit under the clavicle. Youtube "clavicle surgery". Nothing to modern or marvelous about clavicle surgery. Seems pretty mechanical to me. The future might hold synthetic compounds that help the bone heal through all stages of growth. I'm all for it.
