collarbone
This term is the common, non-technical name for the clavicle. While "clavicle" is preferred in medical reports or clinical settings, "collarbone" is the standard term used in everyday conversation and general descriptions of injury.
Because it is a specific anatomical structure, it is typically used with a possessive pronoun (e.g., "my collarbone") or a definite article. It is most frequently mentioned in the context of fractures, as it is one of the most commonly broken bones in the human body.
