Transcription of Case 1 Clavicle Fracture (Broken Collarbone) - NUI Galway
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
Case 1 clavicle fracture ( broken collarbone ) Anatomical Region and Surface Anatomy of the Clavicle . The Clavicle is located in the pectoral girdle. It is located also in the anterior and superior portion of the thorax, placed almost horizontally above the first rib. Medially the Clavicle articulates with the manubrium of the sternum, at what is known as the sternoclavicular joint. Laterally the Clavicle articulates with the acromion of the scapula at the acromioclavicular joint. Because the Clavicle is the only skeletal connection of the pectoral girdle to the trunk of the body, it serves as a strut which maintains the upper limb at a suitable distance from the thorax, so as to allow for maximum movement of the arm.
