The collar bone that articulates with the sternum and scapula.<\/p>\n

\n

The long, curved horizontal bone just above the first rib that connects the scapula (shoulder blade) with the sternum (breastbone).<\/p>\n

A thin, rodlike bone on each side of the anterior neck; commonly referred to as the collarbone.<\/p>\n

The collar bone: a long slender curved bone, a pair of which form the front part of the shoulder girdle. Each clavicle articulates laterally with the ‘scapula and medially with the manubrium of the sternum (breastbone).<\/p>\n

\n

A bone curved like the letter \u0192 that articulates with the sternum and the scapula.<\/p>\n

\n

The collarbone, also known as the clavicle, comprises two bones located on each side of the body. These bones articulate with the upper portion of the sternum, commonly referred to as the breastbone, as well as the scapula, which is the shoulder blade. Functionally, the clavicles provide support to the arms and facilitate the transmission of forces from the arms to the central skeletal structure.<\/p>\n

The majority of clavicle fractures occur due to falls impacting the shoulder or an outstretched arm. When a fracture of the clavicle occurs, it is necessary to support the arm using a sling, and a figure-of-eight bandage is utilized to maintain the alignment of the broken bone ends. The healing process typically takes approximately three weeks.<\/p>\n
