What's the difference between clavicle and interclavicular?
Clavicle
Definition:
(n.) The collar bone, which is joined at one end to the scapula, or shoulder blade, and at the other to the sternum, or breastbone. In man each clavicle is shaped like the letter /, and is situated just above the first rib on either side of the neck. In birds the two clavicles are united ventrally, forming the merrythought, or wishbone.
Example Sentences:

(2) While acromioclavicular joint injury is not uncommon, a complete posterior dislocation in which the distal clavicle penetrates and is entrapped by the trapezius muscle is among the most rare.
(3) Radiologically, the clavicles, the sternum and the first ribs are grossly enlarged with complete fusion between them.
(4) It is stated that the clavicle contributes significantly to the stability of the shoulder girdle, and that in man the presence of this bone represents an increase in the degree of freedom of the upper extremity mobility pattern, dependent on the transversal shape of the thoracic diameter.
(5) Upper thoracic fractures that involved the clavicles, scapula, sternum, and ribs were present in four patients.
(6) A unique feature of the AF-associated musculoskeletal syndrome is osteolytic lesions that occur most frequently in the clavicle, sternum, long bones, and ilium.
(7) Fractures of the clavicle, while common, are associated with few serious complications.
(8) In cases of severely restricted movement or severe pain resection of the medial clavicle may be considered.
(9) In our opinion resection of the sternal end of the clavicle should not be used in old traumatic dislocation.
(10) Partial resection of the anterior undersurface of the acromion, excision of the coracoacromial ligament or of the lateral end of the clavicle (and most commonly a combination of all three measures), were the methods used to achieve decompression.
(11) Condensing osteitis of the clavicle, better defined as aseptic enlarging osteosclerosis of the clavicle, is a rare and benign idiopathic lesion.
(12) A case of ipsilateral distal clavicle fracture and sternoclavicular joint dislocation is reported.
(13) Since there is no history of trauma in this case the dislocation is interpreted as a habitual lateral dislocation of the clavicle.
(14) The distal 6 cm of an infusion port catheter embolized to the right heart after spontaneous fracture of the catheter at the point where it passed between the clavicle and first rib.
(15) Shortening of the osteotomized clavicle by only 1 cm leads to an increase of these forces by about 40%.
(16) This is especially true when treating deep-seated tumors located below the clavicle.
(17) The prognostic factors analyzed included biopsy status of the neck, N stage, neck treatment, node mobility, node location, T stage, primary site, and control of disease above the clavicles.
(18) Although almost 100 cases of osteolysis of the distal clavicle have been reported in the literature, none have occurred in females (Neer and Rockwood, 1984).
(19) Although fractures of the humerus, scapula, and clavicle are common throughout life, most problems encountered between the ages of 15 and 60 are related to the ligaments, tendons, and muscles of the shoulder girdle.
(20) The surrounding connective tissue and the perichondrium showed weak type I collagen expression, while the zones of desmal ossification like the clavicle gave a strong signal.
Interclavicular
Definition:
(a.) Between the clavicles; as, the interclavicular notch of the sternum.
(a.) Of or pertaining to the interclavicle.
Example Sentences:
(1) The effect of HFV was assessed by the recorded changes in the PO2, PCO2 and pH of arterial blood and from the changes in the composition of the gas in the interclavicular air sacs.
(2) PO2 and PCO2 were measured in arterial blood and end-expired, mixed-expired, interclavicular air sac, and caudal thoracic air sac gas.
(3) Interclavicular and posterior thoracic air sac ventilation measured by helium washout did not change as much as expired minute ventilation during HFV.
(4) Interclavicular air sac and end-expired gas had similar compositions.
(5) Egg production by Reighardia sternae, implanted at various stages of maturity into the interclavicular air sacs of captive gulls, is described.
