The coracoclavicular Ligament is a vital ligament located in the shoulder, providing crucial stability to the acromioclavicular (AC) joint. Comprising two components, the conoid ligament and the trapezoid ligament, it originates from the coracoid process of the scapula and inserts into the clavicle. The coracoclavicular ligament is essential for maintaining the proper alignment and function of the AC joint, which connects the acromion of the scapula to the clavicle. This ligament is particularly important for preventing dislocations and ensuring the coordinated movement of the shoulder girdle. Injuries to the coracoclavicular ligament, often resulting from trauma or dislocations, can lead to AC joint instability and pain. Treatment may range from conservative measures such as rest, immobilization, and physical therapy to surgical interventions, including ligament reconstruction or repair. Understanding the anatomy and function of the coracoclavicular ligament is crucial in orthopaedics, especially when diagnosing and managing injuries to the AC joint. Proper care and rehabilitation are essential for restoring stability and function to the shoulder complex after ligamentous injuries.
