Dear Sir

If the clinical diagnosis is ganglion cyst, removal of part of collar bone or clavicle does not have any serious re-percussion.
Following the histopathology report for confirmation of diagnosis is equally important.

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Dear Sir

Removal a part of collar bone does not require any long term rehabilitation. Application of sling will be useful for few days.
