Relating to or connecting the clavicle (collarbone) and the scapula (shoulder blade).
From Greek 'kleido-' (clavicle) plus 'scapular' (relating to the scapula or shoulder blade, from Latin 'scapula'). This describes anatomical connections in the shoulder region.
The clavicle and scapula work together to form your shoulder girdle, and surgeons and anatomists need to describe their relationship constantly—so despite most people never hearing it, cleidoscapular is a working term in anatomy and orthopedic surgery that carries real meaning in medical contexts.
