necessary for full
ROM during
elevation of the
upper extremity)

Coracoclavicular Ligament
...

More lateral portion of the Coracoclavicular
Ligament, and is quadrilateral in shape

Synovial plane joint



• Lateral end of clavicle
and acromion- scapula
• Incomplete intraarticular disc placed
between the two bones

Capsule
Fibrous tissue
surrounds articular
margin

Sternoclavicular Joint:




Ligament
Interclavicular

Anterior
sternoclavicular

Costoclavicular

Posterior
sternoclavicular
ligament

Classification
Saddle- shaped
synovial, but
functionally a ball and
socket joint
