Clavicectomy is surgical removal of all or part of the collarbone. Lateral means toward the side or away from the middle. So lateral end clavicectomy is surgical removal of part of the collarbone farthest away from the neck. In real life, clavicectomy usually means removing a small layer of bone from the end of the collarbone to reduce grinding, inflammation, and pain.

Is the lateral malleolus distal end of the tibia?
No, the lateral malleolus is the distal end of the fibula. The medial malleolus is the distal end of the tibia.
Which bones form lateral and medial malleolus?
The Lateral Malleolus is part of the fibula.
What articulates with the lateral end of the clavicle?
The acromion process of the scapula articulates with the lateral end of the clavicle. This joint is called the acromioclavicular joint.
What is the lateral end of the clavicle?
The lateral end of the clavicle is the one closest to the arm and farthest from the breastbone. It articulates with the acromion process of the scapula.
What two joints are formed containing the medial and lateral ends of the clavicle?
The medial end of the clavicle forms the sternoclavicular joint. The lateral end of the clavicle forms the acromioclavicular joint.
Part of the elbow is formed by the?

What is the name of the joint between the lateral end of the clavicle and acromion process of scapula?

I think they are inner and outer ankle The Medial malleolus if found on the Tibia and the Lateral malleolus is found on the Fibula. The ankle connect to the Medial and Lateral malleolus.
What is the difference between the curve of Wilson and the Monson curve?
The curve of Wilson is a relationship between pressure and volume changes in a gas at constant temperature, showing how the specific volume changes with pressure. The Monson curve, on the other hand, is a graphical representation of the relationship between the bond strength and bond length in metallic solids, showing how the bond strength changes with bond length. Both curves are used in materials science to understand the behavior of different materials under varying conditions.
What is a fracture of the distal end of the fibula?
The distal ends of the tibia and fibula are the malleoli (singular malleolus). The tibia has the medial malleolus, and the fibula has the lateral malleolus.
