That's where your a/c joint is -acromio-clavicular. The only thing holding the clavicle down is a tendon. It is VERY common to injure it in cycling falls. The tendon damage is graded, I believe 1-3, with 3 being total separation-ie' the tendon is torn, and the lesser being various stretches/strains of the tendon. I've been living with a grade 3 for 30+ years, if it doesn't become arthritic there's no issue.
