A member asked:
Why is the clavicle bone considered long and not flat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not the issue: Bones are labeled as either long bones or not. The other bones including the skull/pelvis/vertebrae, etc all have their specific features. All will have some flat surfaces depending on where on the bone you look.
