broken clavicle

My daughter broke her right clavicle in May 2012. She had a non-union and went for surgery to have a pin inserted in August 2012. She is having the pin removed in 2 week’s time. The collar bone healed with a marked depression at the break. Is there anyway to remedy this? Thanks

    hello-i broke my clavicle in august 2013 and was told that if it didn’t heal in 9-10 months, I would need surgery involving a bone graph and a permanent plate with screws. i’ve been reading up on my options and this is the first i’ve heard of a pin. please let me know what this involves and if your daughter is satisfied with the results… I really don’t want a plate in my shoulder. thank you.
