What is a Clavicle?

The clavicle is a long horizontal collarbone. It connects the shoulder blade to the breastplate. There are two clavicles, one on the left and the other on the right. Its major function is to keep the upper limb far from the thorax so that the arms get the maximum movement. It also protects a neurovascular bundle that supplies the upper limb.

What are the problems associated with it?

The most common problem associated with the clavicle is a broken collar bone or a fractured clavicle. There are many reasons which can cause a fracture, which include falling laterally on the shoulder bone or suffering a hit on the collar bone. A dislocated shoulder can also cause a slight dislocation of the collarbone.

How does one cure or support it?

With the advancement in medical science, supports have been developed that give stability to the clavicle. They are known as clavicle supports and consists of a series and combination of straps that provide stability as well as help in the treatment of fractures, sprains, and shoulder instability.
