I broke my collar bone and a few ribs almost two years ago, the same day Tyler Hamilton broke his on the first day of the Tour. I was riding my MTB and went over the handle bars and landed very hard. Had to ride 3 miles to where my cell phone could get reception. After 5 visits to the MD it became apparent it wasn't going to heal so I had a titanium plate put in to hold it together.
