CC ligament

The coracoclavicular (CC) ligament is the major vertical stabilizing factor of the acromioclavicular joint.

conoid ligament
- origin: knuckle of the coracoid process of the scapula
- runs upward, forming an inverted cone as it widely attaches to the undersurface of the clavicle (around the conoid tubercle)
trapezoid ligament
- origin: trapezoid ridge on the coracoid process of the scapula
- runs laterally and horizontally, attaching to the underside of the clavicle (to the similarly named, trapezoid ridge)
