The clavicle is one of the most often fractured bones, especially in young children who participate in high-impact sports. After a simple break or fracture, the brace immobilizes the collarbone region, allowing the bone to recover.

After a clavicle break, doctors will recommend using a sling on the associated arm. By limiting collarbone mobility, the bone can mend and discomfort can be decreased. The sling should be worn during the day but removed at night or for bathing.
