This is my second clavicle break. First time I was given a figure 8. Wore it all the time (except sleeping). Bone healed fine (which is good) but it wasn't a clean break. It splintered to fuck but was still attached (if you can imagine breaking a fairly wet tree branch, when it doesn't snap, but just sort of, shreds but remains attached).
This time it's clean and the bone is completely out of place. I did some reading about figure of eights and it sounds like they've stopped using them because they saw no difference in results between them and slings. However, I wonder now if that is a sling on 16 hours a day vs a figure of eight on 16 hours a day? It's definitely much easier to live in a figure of eight than sling.
