What Is the Midclavicular Line?

The midline of the clavicle is a vertical line drawn through the midpoint of the clavicle sternal end and the clavicle acromion. In adult men and children, the midline of the clavicle is located 0.5-1.0 cm inside the nipple.

Overview of the midline of the clavicle

Measurement method: Measure from the end of the clavicle sternalis (extremitas sternalis) to the peak of the clavicle shoulder (extremitas acromialis), make a mark at 1/2 of the straight line distance between the two points, and then use a ruler to the thorax A vertical straight line that is parallel to the midline is the midline of the clavicle.

Clavicle Midline Chest Marker

The vertical line of the chest is the basic knowledge we need to know when performing a chest examination. The commonly used vertical line signs include: anterior midline, clavicle midline, anterior axillary line, midaxillary line, posterior axillary line, scapular line, posterior midline It also includes the sternum line and parasternal line.

1. The anterior median line, also called the midline of the sternum, is a vertical line that passes through the midline of the sternum.

2. The midline of the clavicle is the vertical line passing through the midpoint of the acromion and sternal end of the clavicle.

3. Anterior axillary line, a vertical line that passes through the anterior axillary fold along the anterior chest wall.

4. Axillary midline, a vertical line that goes from the top of the axillary to the midpoint between the anterior and posterior axillary lines.

5. Posterior axillary line, a vertical line that passes through the posterior axillary folds along the posterior chest wall.

6. The scapular line, when the arms hang down naturally, pass through the vertical line parallel to the lower scapular angle and the posterior midline.

7. The posterior midline, also known as the spinal midline, passes through the vertebral spinous process or along a vertical line remembering the midline and descending.

8. The sternum line, which is a line parallel to the anterior median line, is made along the outer edge of the widest part of the sternum.

9. Parasternal line. The vertical line passing through the midpoint of the line between the sternal line and the midline of the clavicle is the parasternal line.

Clavicle Midline Clavicle Midline Tenderness Pricking Bloodletting for Acne

Acupoint selection: Find 6 symmetrical tender points between the midline of the clavicle, the clavicle and the 6th rib; those with acne infection are equipped with bilateral curved pool points. Operation: puncture 6 tender points with a strictly sterilized stainless steel triangular prism needle, each with a depth of about 0.5cm, and immediately squeeze 3 to 5 drops (about 1.5mL) of blood by hand after the needle is released, until the blood changes from purple to dark Red. Each treatment interval is 7 days, and 4 treatments are one course. 3 The cure effect was complete acne regression, and the skin returned to radiance. 98 cases, accounting for 67.1%, of which 49 cases were cured within 1 week. Significant effect was pigmentation, which accounted for 28 cases, accounting for 19.2%. Significant reduction, no infection, 14 cases, accounting for 9.6%; ineffectiveness was 4 weeks after treatment, no change in acne, 6 cases, accounting for 4.1%. The total effective rate was 95.9%. Among them, 30 cases were followed up for 6 months to 1 year. No recurrence was seen and the effect was reliable.

Acne is a common skin appendage dermatosis, similar to "pulmonary acne" recorded in medical literature of the motherland. The etiology and pathogenesis of TCM is that most of them are caused by inadequate diet, damage to the spleen and stomach, lung and stomach stagnation, and steaming of the face. The evidence is mostly empirical. According to the principle of diarrhea in practice, a three-pointed needle puncture bloodletting therapy is adopted. The midline of the clavicle of the chest is where the stomach meridian of the foot is mingled. The tenderness and puncture of the midline of the clavicle can relieve the heat of the lungs and stomach, and promote blood circulation and disperse stasis. Clinically verified, the effect is very good. Be careful not to puncture too deeply during treatment, so as not to cause pneumothorax.
