The Clavicle bone also called the collarbone is the most commonly broken fractured bone.
The reason why the clavicle or collarbone is the most commonly broken and fractured bone is because it is located between your shoulder blade and your upper ribcage, which makes it very vulnerable to breaks during car accidents, sports injuries and falls.
The clavicle is also the most common site for a fractured bone in children and they can also happen due to birth in infants as the baby pass through the birth canal.
The clavicle bone articulates distally with the acromion at the acromioclavicular joint and articulates proximally with the sternum at the sternoclavicular joint.
And because of it's superficial subcutaneous location and the numerous ligamentous and muscular forces applied to it, the clavicle is easily fractured.
The bone that sits behind your forehead is the frontal bone.
The frontal bone which sits behind your forehead is a flat, rectangular bone which forms the upper part of the skull and the anterior portion of your forehead.
Your frontal bone also contributes to the formation of your eye sockets and your nasal cavity.
There's also bones in the body that never grows which are the 3 ossicles that are in your middle ear which include the stapes, incus and malleus which do not grow after birth.
The 3 ossicles or incus, stapes and malleus are around 3 mm in size since birth and remain the same size for birth.
The hyoid bone that is located in the neck also does not articulate with any other bone in the body and also doesn't grow and remains a fixed size.
The hyoid bone is also a bone that is a floating bone in the body.
The hyoid bone is a bone that is shaped like a horseshoe and is located in your neck, below your mandible and above your larynx.
Your hyoid bone is not attached to any other bones in the body and is only supported by ligaments and muscles.
You can feel your hyoid bone by placing your fingers where your neck and chin meet and then swallow.
As you swallow and have your fingers between where your chin and neck meet, you can feel the hyoid bone.
The hyoid bone is a special bone because the hyoid bone floats in the body and is not connected to other bones.
Instead your hyoid bone is held in place by muscles, cartilage and ligaments in the body.
The hyoid bone is a crucial and necessary bone for helping with swallowing, speaking and even breathing.
The hyoid bone also serves as an attachment point for several different muscles that are involved in these functions, and also supports the tongue, the floor of the mouth and the larynx.
It's also believed that the hyoid bone also helps to maintain an open airway, most particularly during sleep and may also be implicated in obstructive sleep apnea.
