What is cortical expansion of the clavicle and possible causes and concerns with it?
Cortical expansion is a radiological description which means thickening of the cortex of the bone being radiographed. It can also mean widening of the bone, with a cortex being seen. The cortex is the shell of the bone, versus the medulla which is the central spongy bone. The possible causes are numerous, and vary from trauma to infection to tumor etc.

Where would you find cortical bone in the body?
Cortical bone, also known as compact bone, is primarily found in the outer layer of long bones such as the femur, tibia, and humerus. It provides structural support and protection, functioning to withstand mechanical stress. Additionally, cortical bone can be found in the outer regions of flat bones, like the skull, and in the vertebrae. Its dense structure contrasts with the inner trabecular bone, which is more spongy and helps with bone metabolism and blood cell production.
