Broken Collarbone(Clavicle Fracture) – Symptoms and Causes

Overused Arms or Shoulders

The repetitive motion of the arms or shoulders would tire the muscles and tissues. This puts more force and pressure on the collarbone. Over the long run, it can make the part more vulnerable to an accident or fall. This cause is more common in those people whose work requires excessive movements of the arms or shoulders, such as painters, gardeners, farmers, construction workers, cleaners, and similar jobs. Athletes in some sports are also at a higher risk, including baseball, volleyball, badminton, boxing, swimming, and more. [12]
