i was gonna ask it in the health section but id rather get opinions from hockey fans. Well i broke my collar bone playing hockey and its about 95% healed now but there is a bump right where it broke that looks like it can pop out of my skin (its my bone..and its permanently sticking out there) but the doctor says if i get a little surgery i can get that piece of the bone removed. What do u think i should do?

Go with the scar, if you really want to emphasize it, just make sure you are out in the sun. The scar tissue reacts to sunlight and will be darker than surrounding skin.
I had the opposite situation I had facial surgery and I didn't want a 3 inch scar on the left side of my face. The surgeon was able to place the incisions near the laugh lines so the scar is barely noticeable.

If the bone is set firmly in place, then I wouldn't be too worried about it. Unless it's an annoyance, leave the bone how it is. If not, you may put yourself in a good situation to reaggrivate the injury. At least wait until your 100% sure that the collar bone is healed before you hit the ice again!

Go with the surgery... The scar isn't as big as you think and will fade in time to a little white line... The bump will always be right out there looking at ya...

Yeah, I cracked mine up good awhile back. Had the old figure eight sling. It is all sort of bumpier and uneven to the touch but not really noticable. I would say no. No harm, no foul. Might be different on a girl though.

I would take the scar because it makes you look tougher.
