Abstract
The present study was done in the human clavicles that were available from departmentof Anatomy of Nepalgunj Medical College, Chasapani Nepal. Observations were madeon length of the clavicle, mid shaft circumference cornoid tubercle Curvature index ofthe clavicles were also calculated. Results were analysed and discussed.Key Words: Mid shaft circumference-conoid-tubercle-curvature index,Subclavian groove, Trapezoid ridge.
Highlights
Jit and Sahani (1983) made similar observation that left clavicle was longer than right in the 60% and both clavicles were of sane length in 30% of bones in Chandigargh zone
Right clavicles are longer than left clavicles
Male clavicles are heavier with more muscular markings than in female clavicles
Summary
In the present study: A random sample of 21 comprising 11 female & 10 males clavicles from bone sets that were available form department of Anatomy of Nepalgunj Medical College, Chisapani were studied. The clavicles were grouped into male and female by the measurement of mid shaft circumference. One pair of the clavicle showed too much of curvature and prominent conoid tubercle. This made us to examine the clavicle as whole and noted the characters in different clavicles. 1. Nepalgunj Medical College, Chisapani, Banke, Nepal.
