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.
