Clavicle fractures occur at 30–64 cases per 100,000 a year and are responsible for 2.6–5.0% of all fractures. [15] This type of fracture occurs more often in males. [ 15 ] About half of all clavicle fractures occur in children under the age of seven and is the most common pediatric fracture.
Detaching the acromial end of the coracoacromial ligament, and possibly shortening it. Attaching the remaining ligament to the remaining clavicle with sutures . Modern variations of the procedure may use additional fixation methods to better stabilize the distal clavicle end as the original construction is rather weak compared to the unharmed ...
The acromioclavicular ligament, which attaches the clavicle to the acromion of the scapula. Superior acromioclavicular ligament. This ligament is a quadrilateral band, covering the superior part of the articulation, and extending between the upper part of the lateral end of the clavicle and the adjoining part of the upper surface of the acromion.
The acromion of the scapula is connected to the clavicle by the superior acromioclavicular ligament. The coracoclavicular ligaments connect the clavicle to the coracoid process. The two ligaments that form the coracoclavicular ligaments are the trapezoid and conoid ligaments. These three ligaments add support to the shoulder joint. [citation ...
Acromioplasty is an arthroscopic surgical procedure involving the acromion, a bony process of the shoulder blade.. Generally, it implies removal of a small piece of the surface of the acromion that is in contact with a tendon of the rotator cuff causing, by friction, damage to the tendon.
The coracoacromial ligament originates from the summit of the acromion of the scapula, just in front of the articular surface for the clavicle. [1] It inserts by its broad base along the whole length of the lateral border of the coracoid process of the scapula. [1] The clavicle and under surface of the deltoid muscle are above it.
In human anatomy, the acromion (from Greek: akros, "highest", ōmos, "shoulder", pl.: acromia) is a bony process on the scapula (shoulder blade). Together with the coracoid process, it extends laterally over the shoulder joint. The acromion is a continuation of the scapular spine, and hooks over anteriorly.
Clavicular facet of scapula is small oval facet on the medial border of the acromion for articulation with the acromial facet on the lateral end of the clavicle. [1] Also called Clavicular articular facet of acromion. The coracoacromial ligament is attached near the clavicular facet. [2]
