Any issues with Collar bone on BPI arm? Son has this at 9 yrs

Good Evening
My son has a BPI injury from birth. He is now 9 years old. He had nerve graft at 9 months old, MOd Quad at 20 months old, bicept lengthening at 3 years old. He has pretty good function. Two years ago at age 7, we started noticing that his collar bone on his BPI arm was appearing right under his skin. He then took a fall at Sunday school, and it appeared that his collar bone moved 3 inches out. He was diagnosed with a 2nd degree ACL sprain to his BPI shoulder. He is now 9 years old, and recently got taller. He still has the collar bone sticking up and it appears to have gotten bigger. It appears like a bump at the end of his shoulder near the ball area. This seems to be puzzling doctors. He does not complain of any pain, but it has reduced his overhead motion. We are aware that this maybe just normal for his BPI shoulder, but it just really started to grow this way over the past two years. Was wondering if any adults have a collar bone that appears to be dislocated but not really? sticking up under skin? We are scheduled to see an ortho on thursday, to see what he says.
