Key points
- The clavicle is an S-shaped long bone that lies between the sternum and the scapula at the front of the shoulder.
- Its sternal end forms the sternoclavicular joint, while its acromial end forms the acromioclavicular joint.
- Its inferior surface has landmarks for ligament attachments and a groove for the subclavius muscle.
- The clavicle holds the shoulder away from the chest and transfers forces from the upper limb to the trunk.
Definition
A paired dermal or endochondral bone that is part of the pectoral girdle. The clavicle may be in contact with the interclavicle or coracoid and forms an attachment site for pectoral musculature. [PHENOSCAPE:ad].
