shoulder bones
Upper back plates
The shoulder bones are the skeletal structures forming the shoulder: primarily the scapula (shoulder blade) and clavicle (collarbone), which together create the framework connecting the arm to the torso.
The phrase appears in casual or educational contexts when referring to this area collectively: My shoulder bones ache after carrying that backpack all day.
