It went in just behind the tip of my shoulder and ran through the middle of the clavicle.... yeah, it held the bone pieces together like a shish kabob. Since bones aren't actually solid there was no need to drill. It got inserted into the marrow. The bent end was so the doc could grab hold if it to pull it out when the time came.

At this point I'm pretty much back to normal. I can still feel that something was done but no loss of strength or mobility and no pain. By riding season it'll be like nothing ever happened aside from a little bump in my clavicle where the bone callus formed during healing.
