Yup - Tuesday night, went over the bars of my mtn bike. Just my left one, dead center. I can see the end of the bone, yesterday if I moved my shoulder blades together it would "pop" (with sound) back into place - worked better then coffee to wake me up. Needless to say, I've been taking it easy. I have a follow up next Thursday to decide if I need surgery. Worst part so far, I can't open a beer bottle, or pull a cork out of a wine bottle.
If it is collar bones, no cast, you'll get either a cross brace, or a sling. Unless you need surgery, they treat it like broken ribs - here's a sling or brace, some drugs, take it easy.
