coracoclavicular ligament

The coracoclavicular ligaments connect the clavicle to the coracoid process.

Coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction using the lateral half of the conjoined tendon.

The procedure is done to essentially replace the coracoclavicular ligaments with the coracoacromial ligament.

Complete tear of the acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments.

The coracoclavicular ligament is the strongest stabilizer of the AC joint.

Even with these modifications, the modern surgeries do not match intact coracoclavicular ligament strength in cadaveric testing.

The Coracoclavicular Ligament serves to connect the clavicle with the coracoid process of the scapula.

The coracoclavicular ligament, which consists of two ligaments, the conoid and the trapezoid ligaments.

The conoid ligament is the posterior and medial fasciculus of the coracoclavicular ligament.

In falls where the force is transmitted indirectly, often only the acromioclavular ligament is affected, and the coracoclavicular ligaments remain unharmed.

Weaver-Dunn with various additional fixations (sutures, suture anchors, tendon autograft) to replace the coracoclavicular ligaments.

The ring is composed of the glenoid process, coracoid process, coracoclavicular ligament, distal clavicle, acromioclavicular joint, and acromial process.

Hardegger et al. (1984) believed that the amount of displacement and stability depends on the presence of an associated fracture of the clavicle or a coracoclavicular ligament tear.

A Type II AC separation involves complete tearing of the acromioclavicular ligament, as well as a partial tear of the coracoclavicular ligaments.

In a Type III AC separation both acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments are torn without significant disruption of the deltoid or trapezial fascia.

Grade II"' is a partial dislocation of the AC joint with a complete disruption tear of the AC joint and a partial disruption of coracoclavicular ligament."

The acromioclavicular joint, the joint between the acromion process on the scapula and the clavicle, is similarly strengthened by strong ligaments, especially the coracoclavicular ligament which prevents excessive lateral and medial movements.

This is a type III injury with avulsion of the coracoclavicular ligament from the clavicle, with the distal clavicle displaced posteriorly into or through the trapezius and may tent the posterior skin.
