The anterior sternoclavicular ligament is a broad band of fibers attached to the clavicle above, and to the manubrium below. The ligament overlies the anterior (front) surface of sternoclavicular joint .
The joint is reinforced by two intrinsic and two extrinsic ligaments. [1] The costoclavicular ligament is the main limitation to movement, and therefore the main stabilizer of the joint.

Sternoclavicular ligament can refer to: Anterior sternoclavicular ligament (ligamentum sternoclaviculare anterius) Posterior sternoclavicular ligament (ligamentum sternoclaviculare posterius)
The articular disc of the sternoclavicular joint is flat and nearly circular, interposed between the articulating surfaces of the sternum and clavicle.. It is attached, above, to the upper and posterior border of the articular surface of the clavicle; below, to the cartilage of the first rib, near its junction with the sternum; and by its circumference to the interclavicular and anterior and ...
The sternoclavicular joint is the articulation of the manubrium of the sternum and the first costal cartilage with the medial end of the clavicle. It is a saddle type of synovial joint but functions as a plane joint. The sternoclavicular joint accommodates a wide range of scapula movements and can be raised to a 60° angle.

The costoclavicular ligament, also known as the rhomboid ligament or Halsted's ligament, is a ligament of the shoulder girdle. It is short, flat, and rhomboid in form. It is the major stabilizing factor of the sternoclavicular joint and is the axis of movement of the joint, especially during elevation of the clavicle. [1] [2]
