widening
Subject: widening

Googled clavicular widening and came up with only one reference, cut and pasted below:

Broad clavicles in trisomy 8 mosaicism: a new sign.

Beighton P, Kozlowski KS, Gardner J, Smart R.

Department of Human Genetics, University of Cape Town, South Africa.

Symmetrical clavicular widening was observed in a boy with mosaic trisomy for chromosome 8. This sign may be considered in conjunction with other clinical and radiographic features as an indication for chromosomal studies.
