ESPN: Tony Romo undergoing surgery on collarbone on Tuesday

If I understand the science, this is the procedure that will create space between the bone and the joint, making a fracture less likely in the event of another similar fall.

So now, rather than the bone breaking it will just poke thru the top of the shoulder. Push it back in, throw some duct tape over the hole and back in the game he goes. CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

I think gunpowder and a flaming match is now the preferred treatment in that scenario.
