Only fractured mine, so it was only in a sling.

Most of the ones I've seen of Pro Cyclists like your son's break have been plated.

Once healed at lot have the plates removed.

Having had my jaws moved, they were held in place by plates after the op.

Helps keep the bones in place whilst they heal.

Also stops the ends of the bones moving against each other, which would be very painful!

Hope he gets better soon.
