What's the difference between clavicle and subclavian?
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:

(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.

(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.
Subclavian
Definition:
(a.) Situated under the clavicle, or collar bone; as, the subclavian arteries.
Example Sentences:
(1) Systematic treatment of aberrant subclavian arteries should perhaps be considered when it can be performed during thoracic surgery.
(2) Thrombosis of the subclavian vein occurs with these cannulae and is usually asymptomatic.
(3) The infraclavicular subclavian vein approach was used in 73%.
(4) The left subclavian artery was prominent in 33 cases, signs indicating a collateral circulation (rib notching, internal mammary artery) were present in 26 cases.
(5) A case is presented in which subclavian stenosis was mild and undetected.
(6) Among 203 patients in whom the technique has been used, thrombosis of the subclavian or jugular vein has occurred in only three.
(7) The authors present the selective catheterization of the veins of the neck and mediastinum via the subclavian vein.
(8) At the study institution, routine monitoring of perioperative arterial pressure in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery is performed with a long radial artery catheter with the distal end positioned in the subclavian artery.
(9) Four patients received a subclavian intraaortic balloon pump, two were supported with a Novacor left ventricular assist system, three patients received Pierce-Donachy ventricular assist devices, and one patient received a Jarvik 7 total artificial heart.
(10) The combination of a carotid-basilar and a vertebro-vertebral collateral circulation was verified directly in a patient with a complete subclavian steal by means of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography.
(11) The second, less common type of steal is associated with isolated atresia of the proximal segment of the subclavian arteries.
(12) The use of low-dose warfarin to prevent DVT in hip surgery, improve catheter patency, and prevent catheter-related subclavian thrombosis is increasing.
(13) The anatomy was much more complex, the findings being relevant to surgical techniques currently in use (resection and end-to-end anastomosis, subclavian flap aortoplasty).
(14) A compression of the subclavian vein in extreme positions of the arm can therefore be demonstrated in a significant number of healthy individuals.
(15) In deficient length of the cut arch of the aorta the left subclavian artery was divided; in equal diameter of both arches the lumen of the arch was reduced to 0.5 cm with stitches before formation of the anastomosis so as to prevent hyperfunction of the shunt.
(16) Aortic crossclamp time was shorter in the 17 patients who had subclavian flap angioplasty than in 9 patients who had resection (P less than 0.05).
(17) There were two early deaths (3%), one due to peroperative bleeding from the left subclavian artery and the other to acute myocardial infarction.
(18) Twenty-six patients with clinically suspected thrombosis were examined; in 25 patients thrombosis of the internal jugular or subclavian vein was diagnosed.
(19) In 1761, while still an apprentice surgeon, he made his discovery of the unique and bizarre cause--compression of the oesophagus by an aberrant right subclavian artery--of a fatal case of 'obstructed deglutition' for which he coined the term 'dysphagia lusoria' and for which he is eponymously remembered.
(20) In the 3rd patient with a right aortic arch, interruption was distal to the right common carotid and there was an aberrant left subclavian artery.
