Brief Answer:
Yes it will get fixed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The fracture of clavicle heals by keeping the bone in position using a clavicle brace. Avoid overhead activities. Give rest to your arm by using a broad arm sling. The bone is likely to heal in 6-8 weeks.
You can have a calcium rich diet for an earlier healing. You are getting the right treatment. Please do not worry.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
