It is the same as the collar bone. It runs between the sternum (chest bone) and humerus (arm bone) It doesn't have a strict articulation with the arm, but is held by ligaments. Easily broken but heals readily.

What muscles are temporality put out of use by a sling if a right cavicle is fractured?

When a right clavicle is fractured and a sling is used, the muscles that are temporarily put out of use include the deltoid, pectoralis major, and trapezius on the right side. The sling restricts movement and provides support, leading to reduced activation of these muscles. Additionally, the rotator cuff muscles may also be affected due to limited shoulder movement. Overall, the sling aims to stabilize the shoulder and prevent further injury during healing.
