Reason:

The clavicle is also known as the collarbone, it connects the shoulder blade to the sternum and the ribcage. It is a bone that is classified as irregular bone because of its unique shape. The clavicle acts as a saddle joint, which allows for movement in different planes. The clavicle is most commonly fractured during a direct impact injury. It is located in the thoracic region of the body and is the only bone that connects the upper limb to the axial skeleton. The clavicle is important for actions such as abduction and adduction of the shoulder, protraction and retraction of the shoulder, and elevation and depression of the shoulder. It is not involved in actions such as pronation and supination of the forearm. The clavicle is susceptible to injury due to its proximity to the surface of the skin.
