Is right collarbone bigger than left?

Published in Human Anatomy 1 min read

Generally, no, the right collarbone is not typically longer than the left. Studies suggest the left clavicle tends to be slightly longer and more angulated than the right. However, other measurements, such as mid-circumference, weight, and some diameters, may be higher in the right clavicle.

Here's a breakdown of the findings:

  • Length: Left clavicle is usually longer.
  • Angulation: Left clavicle is usually more angulated.
  • Mid-circumference, Weight, Some Diameters: Right clavicle is often greater.

It's important to note that these are general trends, and individual variations exist. Differences can also be sex-dependent.
