Shoulder Injuries

The collarbone (clavicle) is a long, slender bone that runs from the breastbone to each shoulder. You can feel it at the top of your chest, just below your neck. Tough bands of tissue (ligaments) connect the collarbone to the breastbone and shoulder blades. Breaks to these bones are fairly common in cycling  and are usually  the result of a heavy fall or blow to the shoulder. It takes about 6-8 weeks to heal in adults, and 3-6 weeks in children.
