4 Causes of A Broken Collarbone
Falls
The collarbone connects the arms to the body. When you walk on a slippery surface or have an accident, a fall to the ground on the shoulder would put excessive pressure and outstretch your arm. As a result, the bone is likely to break or snap. Due to a weaker connection by muscles, the middle part of the collarbone is the most susceptible part. To reduce the risk, make sure to be careful when you are walking or playing on slippery areas, especially during rainy days or the winter. [9]
