clavicle x-rays before and after

First 2 x-rays of before surgery showing the break of my left clavicle with over 1 inch overlap.

Second 2 x-rays of after surgery showing the fixed bone.
This shows the break on the left side, ignore the clip from the gown. You can see the two pieces of bone overlapping.

Hope you'll recover and back on the bike, in the kayak, and on NY water sand roads asap, Tim. Hope you were not in pain.

AWESOME photos cuz - course I am in the bio-medical field so maybe I'm a bit weird to like these. I should find my knee surgery photos & share them online - they took them during surgery for me :) Hope you're able to kayak & snowboard soon!! All the best, Ra xx

Holy shit, tim, this is a serious looking break. I hope your clavicle is better now. I also hope I never have to look at these kind of xrays with a 'tom potter' label.
