About this document
Clavicle: Structure and Medullary Cavity by Dattaprasad Sharma is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The clavicle, or collarbone, is a long bone that connects the sternum to the scapula and is unique for its horizontal position and lack of a medullary cavity. It has distinct features such as being the first bone to ossify and the last to complete ossification, with various muscle and ligament attachments. The clavicle is also prone to fractures, particularly at the junction of its lateral one-third and medial two-thirds, often requiring conservative or surgical management.
