15 broke his collar bone today during a soccer match. The midfield can be a tough place to be. A contributing factor was size. My freshman versus a senior. What might have otherwise been a 50-50 ball resulted in 15 getting slammed to the turf. Major ouch.
@Urbankidx4 First, omg that looks like a bad one (had one not so bad). Is that a piece just floating loose? Second, the size differences in high school sports are amazing and scary. So sorry he's hurt. Hope he heals well.

@jds_again thanks. I thought it was a double break as well until I got schooled by my lovely bride. The break is called a mid shaft clavicle break. The left side in the pic does not connect to another bones further left. Just one break in the middle.
@Urbankidx4 Phew. Well, still looks awful. Mine was a couple inches from the notch in the center. I'm not sure if I disobeyed some instructions or if it's normal but my broken ends overlapped and grew into a very large ball. Feels unbreakable now lol. 15 yo me was more worried about a) the need for help showering😊 and b) missing my extra-curricular s. Hope he can find comfort and rest.
