Some Observation on Human Clavicle

Abstract

The present study was done in the human clavicles that were available from department of Anatomy of Nepalgunj Medical College, Chasapani Nepal. Observations were made on length of the clavicle, mid shaft circumference cornoid tubercle Curvature index of the clavicles were also calculated. Results were analysed and discussed.

Morphological and Morphometric Study of the Clavicle: A Tool for Gender Identification in Cadavers

“…28 However, it is interesting to note that several studies have shown that the male clavicles are more horizontally curved in relation to female clavicles. [29][30][31] As for the analysis between the genders, tests were done for each antimerism. For the bones on the right side, significant differences were found between the variables clavicle diaphysis circumference (p < 0.01), ML (p < 0.01), weight (p < 0.01), HAE (p < 0.01), WAE (p − 0.028) and for WSE (p < 0.01).…”

The influence of biological affinity and sex on morphometric parameters of the clavicle in a South African sample

“…The female clavicle is generally less robust than the male clavicle, with less rugosity and muscle attachments (Bilodi et al, ; Murphy, ; Parsons, ; Ray, ; Terry, ). The present study examined the sexual dimorphism of the clavicle and found that all three variables of the clavicle (MAXL, SAGD, VERD) were larger in males than in females in the South African coloured sample; male clavicles were significantly longer (MAXL) than female clavicles and broader for both VERD and SAGD dimensions.…”

“…Many studies have reported that the morphology of the clavicle is influenced by factors such as age, sex, biological affinity, and musculature (Black & Scheuer, ; Bilodi, Sinha, & Kumaran, ; Ljunggren, ; Murphy, ; Parsons, ; Ray, ; Terry, ). Overall, the female clavicle is generally less robust than the male clavicle with less rugosity and muscle attachments.…”

“…Overall, the female clavicle is generally less robust than the male clavicle with less rugosity and muscle attachments. However, muscular individuals exhibit larger clavicles and therefore an athletic female clavicle could be larger than a nonathletic male clavicle (Bilodi et al, ; Murphy, ; Parsons, ; Ray, ; Terry, ). In addition, a number of studies have reported that morphometric parameters of the clavicle vary between population affinities (Akhlaghi, Moradi, & Hajibeygi, ; Alcina, Rissech, Clavero, & Turbón, ; Ishwarkumar, Pillay, Haffajee, & Rennie, ; Králík, Urbanová, & Wagenknechtová, ; McCormick, Stewart, & Greene, ; Murphy, ; Patel, Shah, Merchant, Nirvan, & Shah, ; Spradley & Jantz, ).…”
