Purpose Coracoclavicular joint (CCJ) is a rare anomalous joint occasionally found between the coracoid process of scapula and the conoid tubercle of clavicle. The articulation has been extensively studied by means of anatomical, osteological and radiological investigations. Most cases are discovered incidentally, with the symptomatic variety remaining an exceptional rarity. Our aim was to review all reported symptomatic CCJ to increase the level of evidence and formulate a treatment algorithm to aid clinicians in management planning. Methods A thorough literature search was performed, and data from 17 (n=17) symptomatic cases of CCJ were analysed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
