Acromioclavicular Joint | |
---|---|
Primary Type | Synovial Joint |
Secondary Type | Planar Joint |
Bones | Scapula, Clavicle |
Feature | Fibrocartilaginous wedge-shaped disc. |
Ligaments | Coracoclavicular, coracoacromial, superior acromioclavicular, and inferior acromioclavicular ligaments. |
Muscles | No muscles directly act on this joint. |
Innervation | Axillary, suprascapular, and lateral pectoral nerves |
Vasculature | Suprascapular and thoracoacromial arteries |
ROM | Upward rotation: 30 degrees, external rotation:8 degrees |
Volume | 2mL |
Conditions | Acromioclavicular Joint Osteoarthritis, Acromioclavicular Joint Injury |
The acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) is formed by the junction between the acromion process of the scapula and the distal clavicle. It is a plane synovial joint and forms part of the shoulder girdle (ACJ, GHJ, and SCJ). It can include a fibrocartilaginous disk
Range of Motion
There is significant motion at the ACJ during elevation of the humerus.(See Shoulder Biomechanics).[1]
