The Clavicle, or collarbone, is a long bone that connects the sternum to the scapula. It is characterized by its horizontal orientation and S-shaped curve. The clavicle is unique among long bones as it has no medullary cavity and is subcutaneous throughout its length, making it visible in thin individuals.

- The clavicle has two primary ossification centres and undergoes unique membranous ossification.
- It is a crucial muscle attachment and force transmission link between the upper limb and the axial skeleton.
- Fractures of the clavicle are common, especially at its weakest point, and can lead to significant displacement and clinical symptoms.
