Coracoclavicular Ligament

Fractures of the clavicle result from falls onto the shoulder or lateral compression of the shoulder girdle. There is rarely any associated injury to the subclavian vessels, brachial plexus or pleura, unless the injury is due to a direct blow. Clavicular fractures have been (Allman 1967) classified into three types type 1, middle third type 2 distal to the coracoclavicular ligaments and type 3 medial to the sternocleidomastoid and costoclavicular ligament.
