Just wondering if anyone knows about the symmetry of the clavicle (collarbone). Is it normal for the collarbone not to be symmetrical on the left and right side of the body ? I mean when I touch one end of the right side of the collarbone it's more proeminent than the other one (the left one).
Answer:
No body is symmetrical. We think it is, but there are subtle differences pretty much everywhere.
If you are handy with a graphics program, you can prove this by taking a photo of your face, cutting it in half and flipping the image so that it makes a whole face again. It won't look much like you.
We see this in surgery all the time.
People just don't grow symmetrically. Plus, you use one arm more than the other, and they develop asymmetrically.
You're fine, don't worry about it.
