Collar bone usually heals on it’s own even if it takes time as in your case. It usually does not lead to any functional disability. Non union of this bone is very rare. Only in established cases should one go for surgery. You can have the sling for a little longer till your shoulder gains strength. Just confirm that the bandage in the axilla is not causing pressure on the Brachial Plexus.
1. You can start pendular movements gradually increasing the range.
2. Your therapist will aid your movements passively gradually assisting you to normal range. You can also try hydrocollater packs before exercises.
3. Home exercise regime with wand exercises and functional use of the whole limb will be a part of your therapy too.
4. By 6 weeks you should get a fully mobile shoulder and a fairly strong shoulder.
