10 Broken Collar Bone Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #2: Sagging Shoulder
The bones in our skeleton help to give us support. Without them, we would simply flop to the ground under the force of gravity. If any bone in the body was to break then it would no longer be able to provide support as well as it usually would. The collar bone is no exception.
Patients with a broken collar bone are quite likely to find that their shoulder is sagging forward and to the side. This is because the collar bone is no longer able to keep it in position. The shoulder should still stay in place otherwise, though, held there by muscle, sinew, and other tissues.
