Study Notes
- Posterior rotation of the clavicle is driven by multijoint kinematics and muscle-to-ligament forces.
- Coracoclavicular ligament is relatively slackened at rest.
- Scapula upwardly rotates at the AC joint during early shoulder abduction.
- Coracoclavicular ligament stretches during upward rotation.
- Stretched ligament tension is transferred to the conoid tubercle region of the clavicle.
- Force application rotates the clavicle posteriorly.
- Posterior rotation places the clavicular attachment of the ligament closer to the coracoid process.
- Unloading the ligament permits the scapula to continue upward rotation.
- Posterior rotation of the clavicle is coupled with posterior tilting of the AC joint.
- These motions are essential to full-range shoulder abduction.
