A slender S-shaped bone that forms the anterior part of the shoulder girdle. Acts as a strut to keep the upper limb away from the trunk, allowing free movement. Transmits forces from the upper limb to the axial skeleton.

Signifikansi Klinis

The clavicle is the most commonly fractured bone, typically at the junction of the middle and lateral thirds. Clavicle fractures can injure the subclavian vessels or brachial plexus. Sternoclavicular joint dislocations are uncommon but potentially dangerous.
