Abstract
Clavicle is also called as "Collar Bone". The bone has a double-curve hence its name Clavisa Key (the Roman key was S-Shaped) in the horizontal plane. The clavicle is thicker and more curved in manual workers, its muscular attachments being well marked. Sexing of the clavicle has been attempted by various workers. 90 dried adult clavicles (48 right sides & 42 left sides) were studied for the present study. Bones were collected from the Anatomy Department of KFMS&R, Coimbatore. Total five Anthropometric parameters were obtained from each clavicle. The measurements obtained from each clavicle were statistically analysed. Determination of sex of clavicle is important to know before planning for intramedullary nails for clavicle, which helps for orthopaedic implant manufactures and orthopaedic surgeonss.
