I have no personal experience with broken collarbone but I am a first aid officer so I am somewhat knowledgeable about it.
Essentially the only thing that can be done for a collarbone is to put the arm in a sling (here we use St John sling for first aid and later on a specialised sling can be used, but your world doesn’t sound like it would have any of those Collar N Cuff type things)
As for timeline…your character is going to be virtually incapacitated for some time, unless it’s not actually broken and just very badly hurt. I’m not a professional and only specialise in first aid, but I would say six to eight weeks or so. And definitely no hand to hand combat 😛
