Is there a "correct" or normal angle for the collar bones? Or maybe a range? And what is it? I didn't find much on the subject when poking around.

I've been told in an ideal, perfect world, your collarbones should be about parallel to the ground. Obviously, there are ranges and variances.
If you have some pre-TOS collarbone pictures of yourself, it's a good way to see if there are any differences - more defined, angled differently, symmetrical, etc. |

One thing I've noticed since surgery is that clavicle has receded, so it doesn't really match my left side. I guess the first rib pushes the collarbone out and makes it more visible. I guess if I wore plunging necklines this would be more of an issue!

I was looking for images of normal clavicle/collarbones , you're right, not much out there.
I can't believe all the collar bone piercings images I saw..  And the broken /malformed ones.

Ms.PennyLoafer, you could probably take a leveler (from a hardware store) and look in the mirror. It never occurred to me to wonder if they were parallel to the ground!

The latest PT is saw said ideally they should be at about a 30 degree angle up towards the shoulders. Mine are horizontal (so parallel to ground), and he said that was contributing to my tos, putting a stretch on the BP and also narrowing the space between clavicle and first rib. That was his theory anyway.

okay i got this angles app on my droid
i am messing around with it, but mine are actually very angled, still trying to measure. i believe that relates to the shoulder somehow my rib cage is majorly twisted too. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2270384/ im going to read this later
