Lance Armstrong posted on Twitter an image of the x-ray that was taken of his pieced-together broken right collarbone, or clavicle. While riding in the Castilla and Leon bike race in Spain on March 23 he went down in a pile-up of 20 riders. With his arm in a sling, he flew back home to Texas where he had surgery on March 25. The bone was in four pieces, and fixing it required 12 screws and a metal plate which will eventually have to be removed.
Broken clavicles are common among competive bike riders, but this is the first time Armstrong has broken one.
HERE is a link to a 2 minute video of Armstrong explaining his situation.
