“…According to Cunningham et al [16] Their trial showed only 28% clavicle have more than 5mm assymetry. Sehrawat et al [17] found that left clavicle were longer length as our trial. Huang et al [18] used a 3D digitizer to analyze the anatomy of the clavicle and applicability of precontoured clavicle plates.…”

Aim: Mathematical relationships between bones in close proximity are useful for determining the proper length of comminuted or severely displaced bones during surgical reconstruction. This study examined the relationship between the lengths of the clavicle and ulna to develop a length propotion formula that can facilitate obtaining the proper length of the clavicle during surgery for displaced and comminuted fractures. Methods: The study enrolled 130 individuals (76 males, 54 females) who were healty for their upper extremities and was seen in our orthopedics outpatient clinic during April 2019 to June 2019. The right and left clavicles and ulnas of each individual were measured. All measurements were peformed by two of the authors in an blinded fashion. Results. Mean overall age was 32.2 years. There were significant correlations between the clavicle and ipsilateral ulnar lengths (p=0.001). However, there was a length difference between the right and left clavicles. The left clavicle was 9.00 ± 2.16 mm longer than the right in males and 7.13 ± 2.03 mm longer in females (p=0.001). There was no significant length difference between the right and left ulnas in either sex (0.84 ± 1.033 mm in males and 0.52 ± 0.818 mm in females). Conclusion. There is a significant ratio between the clavicle and ulna lengths on both the right and left sides in both sexes, but it isn't the same for males and females. We propose that these length proportion formula can be used for determining the clavicle length for the surgical treatment of comminuted fractures with plates and particularly with nails.

“…In rabbits and terrestrial rodents such as guinea pigs and rats (Uçar, Öcal, & Haziroglu, 1985;Wagner & Manning, 1976;Wells, 1964), a slender clavicle with a caudal curvature at the acromial end was observed, similar to that seen in H. glaber and is therefore unlikely to be an adaptation for fossorial living. A study on the relevance of bone curvature in human clavicles indicated that a curved bone may be formed due to strenuous activities imposing bending forces (Milne, 2016;Sehrawat & Pathak, 2016). Therefore, the more curved clavicle in H. glaber might be a response to more biomechanical loading placed onto the clavicle despite the fact that they individual often passes over the other (Lacey et al, 1991).…”

Bathyergus suillus (Cape dune mole-rat) and Heterocephalus glaber (naked mole-rat) are two species of subterranean burrowing rodents. Bathyergus suillus occurs in soft sandy soils and is regarded as a scratch-digger, while H. glaber is found in hard, compact soils and is a chisel-tooth digging species. The present study aimed to determine musculoskeletal differences in the forelimb of these two species. The muscles of the forelimb, back and neck were dissected to the points of origin and insertion in the left and right forelimbs, B. suillus (n = 7) and H. glaber (n = 5). Dissected muscles were photographed before maceration to demonstrate muscle attachments. The scapular spine, acromion process and clavicle were relatively straight in B. suillus. In comparison a curved scapular spine, acromion process and clavicle were observed in H. glaber. In both species, the clavicle rested on the greater tuberosity of the humerus. In B. suillus, the deltoid tuberosity was prominent and situated more distally on the humeral shaft compared to the indistinct, more proximally situated deltoid tuberosity in H. glaber. A prominent bony structure underlying the thenar pad as well as a cartilaginous protrusion beneath the hypothenar pad were observed on the palmar surface of the manus in B. suillus. Prominent claws were observed in B. suillus. A robust m. sternohyoideus was observed in H. glaber while mm. tensor fasciae antebrachii and coracobrachialis were absent. The flexors of the antebrachium of B. suillus had additional and enlarged attachment sites. The forelimb of B. suillus may be morphologically adapted for scratch-digging with relatively large and additional forelimb muscles and robust bones. In comparison, H. glaber had a reduction in the relative size, amount of muscles as well as number of attachment sites in the forelimb muscles, while the well-developed ventral neck muscles may facilitate neck and head stabilisation during chisel-tooth digging.
