AC joint (Acromion Joint)
SC Joint (SternoClavicle Joint)
The landmark clavicle bone also called the collarbone, connects the upper limb to the trunk.
The bony part on top is the Superior Angle, Coracoid process, or the Acromion. The bony part on the side is the Medial Border.
The clavicle is the only shoulder girdle bone that articulates with the sternum.ClavicleThe clavicle is part of the pectoral girdle and its proximal part articulates with the sternum.
Another name for the collarbone is the Clavicle.
It's a good question! Clavicle supports the shoulder joint. It is attached to the flat bone called as scapula. This scapula plays very important role in formation of the shoulder joint. Scapula bone has no bony attachment to the chest wall. It is attached to the chest wall via clavicle. It is better seen on the model than described.

If there is a hard lump on someoneâ??s clavicle, it could be a type of cyst. It could also be a broken collarbone.

The bony landmarks are: iliac crest (a good place to put you hands on), anterior superior iliac spine (that "bump" you can feel on either side of your stomach if it is flat), symphysis pubis (between the legs), sacral promontory which you can not feel but is above the leaf shaped tail bone called the sacrum. Plus the lower ribs and end of the sternum.
You usually fall with out stretched hand. There are many types of fractures in that case including the fracture of the clavicle. The wave of shock pass along the fore arm and arm bones. It falls on the scapula. Scapula has got no bony attachment to the chest wall. So shock wave pass to the sternum via clavicle. At times the clavicle get fractured.
Another name for the collarbone is the Clavicle.
When you palpate a bony landmark, it will feel harder than the soft tissue around it. For example, feel the point of your shoulder (acromion process of the scapula). Now move more medially (toward the center of your body) to the space between your shoulder and neck. If you feel the front of your body in this area, you will feel the clavicle (collarbone). If you feel the back of the area, you will be on your trapezius muscle, and perhaps supraspinatus and levator scapula. Notice how much softer the muscle areas feel than the bony landmarks. Generally, a bony landmark is a specific place on a particular bone. To use the example above - the acromion process of the scapula - it is the most lateral and superior aspect of the scapula, not just any old place on the scapula.
The only joints joining the upper extremities to the axial skeleton are the acromioclavicular joints, a joint between the acromion on the scapula and the clavicle.
