I remember now, after it was diagnosed as non-union I did see a private consultant about whether to get it pinned. He said since I have full movement he didn't recommend it because if the join is too strong (ie held together with metal) and I had a similar fall in future the impact would be forced into my shoulder which is a harder injury to heal. Between snowboarding and mountainboarding we decided there was a reasonable risk of more heavy falls in future so it would be better to leave it flexy (though as it turned out my next injury happened washing up)
