The clavicle is considered an atypical bone because it is the only long bone in the body that lies horizontally and has a distinct S-shape. Unlike most bones, which are formed primarily through endochondral ossification, the clavicle develops through intramembranous ossification. Additionally, it serves as a strut between the shoulder blade and the sternum, playing a unique role in the skeletal system. Its shape and function differ significantly from other long bones, further contributing to its atypical classification.
