i say let it heal on its own... my wife broke her clavical about 6 months back, and cant even tell anymore. hasnt complained about it in about 4ish months. i say the surgery is overrated for that, and if they gave you a strap that goes around both arms and smaps or some bs... that **** doesnt work, get a arm sling... just try to keep your arm close to your body. just my .02
