Why does one side of my collarbone stick out more than the other?
An open fracture is where the fractured bone protrudes (sticks out) from the skin. This is also referred to as a “compound fracture.” An open fracture is a medical emergency because of the potential for a bone infection called “osteomyelitis.” To learn more click “The Three Fracture Emergencies.”

Consequences of scapula winging: If the resting position and movements of the scapula are not in optimum position, it can lead to restricted movements of the shoulder joint. This in turn can lead to impingement of the rotator cuff tendons and associated pain and dysfunction.
“Clavicles are generally symmetrical, but asymmetry is not necessarily something to worry about,” says J. Mark Anderson, MD, DABFM, of Executive Medicine of Texas and who is board certified in family medicine. “Many people are born with one side more pronounced than the other,” continues Dr.
Scapular winging involves one or both shoulder blades sticking out from the back rather than lying flat. It can happen as a result of injury or nerve damage. The scapula, or shoulder blades, are flat bones that connect the upper arm to the collar bone. When they come out of place, it can cause scapular winging.
Should collarbones be symmetrical?
There are multiple muscles that attach to the clavicle, and in very muscular people the muscle attachments can be more pronounced. Furthermore there are many structures surrounding the clavicles such as lymph nodes which could cause an abnormal “bulge”.
