Generally speaking, clavicle fractures are rarely surgically fixed. At most, patients are slightly immobilized for a few weeks.
The question I have, which you may not may not be able to answer, is whether you also had an AC joint separation or other concurrent injury in addition to fracturing your clavicle.
There are at least two reasons why your shoulder is the way it is:
1) You've got some correctable shoulder issue that can be addressed by something like Inside Out.
2) You've got a ligamentous problem with the AC joint itself, or an unresolved connective tissue injury
3) Your clavicle has actually somehow changed the morphology of your shoulder in terms of how your shoulder blade and your shoulder joint rest in relation to the rest of your body.
The problem with any of these three things is that it's impossible to tell online which one of these things it is, short of you taking pictures or video. If it's not bothering you very much, then you may elect not to see someone about it. But it's stressing you out or is causing pain or enough dysfunction that you're bothered by it, then you should see a physician to see which of the three (or more) possibilities it actually is, and what the best way would be to correct it (which you may or may not be interested in).
