The clavicle, also known as the collarbone, is considered the weakest bone in the human body. Its delicate structure and horizontal position across the chest make it susceptible to fractures, especially from direct impact or falls.
While the clavicle is often cited as the weakest, other bones like the lacrimal bone (which supports the eye), the stapes (a tiny bone in the middle ear), and even the spine can be considered weak due to their delicate nature and vulnerability to trauma. However, the clavicle remains the most commonly fractured bone, highlighting its relative weakness compared to other bones in the body.
