I would advise against surgery if at all possible because then you'll have a plate stuck in there, and then you'll need surgery again in about a year to take it out because it bothers a lot of people with the skin over your collar bone being rather thin. Mine was broken in 3 places and after it had healed for about 9 days, a specialist re-broke it for me and put it in a more normal location. I will have the bone bump and such but it's not gonna be that bad. But that's just me. Do what feels right to you.
