Scapula.
Your shoulder is made up of the humerus, scapula and the clavicle
The clavical bone connects medially to the sternum and laterally to the acromion of the scapula.
The shoulder is a point in the body where several bones join, but I'm going to assume you're asking for the correct name of specifically the shoulder blade bone that connects most of those bones in the shoulder together. It's called a scapula.
Clavicle and ScapulaClavicle and scapula.Articulated bones of the pectoral (shoulder) girdle.The paired pectoral, or shoulder, girdles each consist of two bones- the anterior clavicle and the posterior scapula.
scapula : either of a pair of large triangular bones lying one in each dorsal lateral part of the thorax, being the principal bone of the corresponding half of the shoulder girdle, and articulating with the corresponding clavicle or coracoid -called also shoulder bladeScapula
The shoulder complex consists of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone). These bones work together to provide stability and mobility to the shoulder joint.
The 2 shoulder girdles are made up of 2 bones each: a scapula and a clavicle.
If you fall and hit the ground with your hands outstretched, the impact travels up your arms and into your clavicle. The force exerted on the clavicle from the impact can cause it to fracture due to the pressure and stress placed on the bone.
Flat bone is formed due to intramembranous ossification of clavicle and skull. Flat bone is made up of compact and spongy bones.
If one is talking about a single bone, statistically speaking the most commonly broken bone in the body is the clavicle, commonly referred to as the collar bone.The most common fractures in people under 75 are wrist fractures, but the wrist is not made up of a single bone, but of 8 carpal bones. After age 75, hip fractures become the most common, but this makes up only a small percentage of the population.See the related weblink below for verification, and the reasons why this is the most commonly broken bone for both children and adults.
Answer 1Distal Clavicle ResectionOverviewReviewed by Dr. Ken AlleyneThe tip of the shoulder blade (scapula) that forms the roof of the shoulder joint is known as the acromion. Where this bone meets the collarbone (clavicle) is known as the acromioclavicular (or AC) joint. Normally, the tendons of the shoulder and the fluid-filled sac that surrounds it, the bursa, have plenty of room underneath the AC joint. However, overuse of the shoulder may lead to bursitis and tendonitis, collectively known as impingement. Impingement causes the tissues underneath the AC joint to be pinched against the bone, causing irritation and pain. Additionally, arthritis can develop in the shoulder as a result of overuse (Arthrosis) or autoimmune attack (Rheumatoid Arthritis). Physical therapy, medication, or cortisone injections are most often prescribed for shoulder pain; however, if these methods fail to provide relief, arthroscopic surgery may be necessary.Removing the end of the clavicle closest to the acromion may help alleviate some pain and loss of motion caused by arthritis or impingement. Removing the last third of the clavicle allows it to be replaced by more flexible scar tissue, thereby eliminating the bone-on-bone rubbing that causes pain. The procedure often is accompanied by a bone spur removal, Debridement, or other procedures. A distal clavicle resection is one of the newer additions to shoulder arthroscopy.Detailed DescriptionSpecialistOrthopedic surgeonProcedureBefore the Procedure:The patient's medical history and any possible allergies to medication are determined. The surgeon may order X Rays, an MRI, CT Scan, or EMG to look into the joint before the procedure. The patient is dressed in a hospital gown and anesthetized either locally or generally.During the procedure:A number of half-inch incisions will be made to allow the arthroscope to enter the shoulder joint. A sterile saline solution will be pumped into the joint both to cleanse it and to expand it for better visualization. The surgical staff may also pump air into the joint to create more room to see inside the joint. While watching a monitor that shows a magnified image of the inside of the shoulder, the surgeon guides the arthroscope to perform a number of procedures within the joint.After removing any degenerative or damaged tissue around the AC joint and bursa (see Debridement) bone spurs from the acromion, or repairing the rotator cuff, the surgeon uses a surgical cutter to remove the last half-inch from the clavicle. The surgeon may then move the arm to test for impingement. The patient may be discharged following the procedure, or may remain in the hospital for one or two days.
shoulder joint is a compound joint bcoz it si made of 3/ more bones and fuction as a single anatomical unit.
