Clavicle Picture
The collar bone (or clavicle) is the bone that runs along the front of the shoulder to
the breast bone (sternum). This bone is usually fracture as a result of falling badly onto
an outstretched arm or onto the shoulder. Or in a collision with an opponent in a contact
sport such as Rugby or American Football. The likelyhood of a clavicle fracture is
increased if the playing surface is particularly hard. |
