Visible Deformity
In people with a broken collarbone, there is often a bump or visible deformity at the fracture area. Gentle pressure on this part can lead to pain and discomfort. This symptom can be a result of swelling as well as the dislocation of the bone from the original place. In some serious cases, the bone fragment can break through the skin and push it into a tent formation. This can increase the risk of infection or contamination. However, it is quite rare. After healing, a broken collarbone might move out of the place. Therefore, make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider to ensure the part can stay in position. [5]
