The coracoclavicular ligament is one of the ligaments which stabilises the acromioclavicular joint. The acromioclavicular joint is formed between the acromion of the scapula and the clavicle. It is a small synovial joint that is stabilised by the following ligaments:

  • Acromioclavicular ligament (consists of superior and inferior parts)
  • Coracoclavicular ligaments

The coracoclavicular ligaments consist of two parts:

  • Trapezoid ligament

The coracoclavicular ligament, as the name suggests connects the clavicle to the coracoid process of the scapula.
