Default Uneven angles on my clavicles

This isn't really an injury-related issue. I'm mostly just curious.

My right clavicle is essentially perpendicular to my sternum, but my left clavicle rises upward at an angle. This has always been this way, as far as I can recall.

Is this something that can be corrected? I'm not sure why I would need to, except that it looks kinda funky. The left side of my chest is certainly raised compared to the right.

I've never noticed any unevenness in strength on either side.

I know it's not unusual for the clavicles to extend from the sternum to the acromion process of the scapula at an angle, but is it unusual to have one side at a distinctly different angle from the other?

Maybe I'm one of those chimera people with one half of my body really being an absorbed twin.

Default

A horizontal clavicle that articulate at the same level of the sternum as the other clavicle, and in the absence of trauma and remodeling, likely represents a depressed shoulder/scapula of the horizontal side or a downwardly rotated scapula. Essentially, the AC joint is lower on the horizontal side.

If you are right handed, then this would go along with relatively dominant/short pecs and lats and weaker scapula control (relatively weak traps, serratus anterior, and rhomboids).

If a trainer tests you for these things, and they are positive, then a variety of closed chain exercises (i.e. push-ups, push-up pluses, swiss ball arm circles on a wall), kinetic chain exercises (i.e. PNF pattern arm raises), and stretches (for the pec and lats) may be helpful over time. These may also reduce the risk of pain in the future.
