Abstract :
Introduction: The clavicle is (collar Bone) a typical long bone of upper limb which extends from the root of the neck to the shoulder, which lies horizontally.
Aim: The purpose of the study was to measure curves, the medial and lateral angels in dry fully ossified macerated clavicle bones.
Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out on 100 dry fully ossified macerated clavicles (50 male & 50 female). The results obtained were statistically analyzed.
Results: In the present study, the average medial angle was found to be 143.68
