“…The practice of CT of the MCE with arms down may represent a holdover from the time when age estimations were performed with x-rays of the clavicle (taken in an arms-down position) and should be revaluated in the current era of CT. In this context, one must keep in mind that many CT reference studies for FAE are based on clinical CT scans, often the chest [ 24 , 36 , 37 , 42 , 46 , 48 , 49 , 51 , 52 , 58 ]—scanned with arms raised—and therefore, a change in practice to CT of the clavicle with arms-up for age estimation is unlikely to have an effect on staging of MCE ossification. Recently, Tozakidou has already demonstrated how CT of the MCE for FAE with arms up has the potential to decrease effective dose and increases image quality [ 16 ].…”

“…The weakest point of the clavicle is the junction between its curvatures, and fractures commonly occur by falling on the outstretched hand. 3 The secondary ossification center is found at the medial end as the only epiphysis of the bone end. This epiphysis is the last to ossify and fuse at the ages of 18 and 20 years and at the end of 25 to 26 years, respectively.…”
