“…In a present radiological study, the prevalence of CCJ was found to be 4.6% while, the other studies showed 0.55%-4.3% prevalence. 1,3,6,10,11 The study conducted in Northwest Indians reported 10.1% prevalence of CCJ which is much higher than that of our study. 12 Few literature showed much variation (0.78%-16%) in occurrence of CCJ in osteological study.…”

“…None of the children had CCJ in the study conducted by Chopra. 5 In a study by De Hass, prevalence of CCJ in the children up to 12 years of age was 1.5%, 1 while it was much lesser (0.002%) in our study. Majority of the joint was present in third and fourth decade of life in the present study and gradually declines thereafter.…”

“…In addition, a true synovial joint, Coracoclavicular joint (CCJ) may exist between superior surface of coracoid process of scapula and conoid tubercle of clavicle, which is enclosed by fibrous capsule, lined by synovial mem-brane and the two articular surfaces are covered by articular cartilage. 1 The embryological basis for the existence of CCJ was described by Gegenbaur in 1898. The coracoid is connected with the clavicle by the cartilaginous procoracoid which later become fibrous and is ultimately converted into the coracoclavicular ligaments.…”

“…In response, the coracoid process forms a similar outgrowth and meets the former forming an anomalous synovial joint. 1 Gumina et al have tried to associate the CCJ to the size of the scapula and clavicle, but the outcome was disagreeing .2 The incidence of CCJ was first reported in late nineteenth century, 1 however, it is an usual anatomical feature of primates. 3 Since then, various radiological, cadaveric and osteological study of anomalous CCJ has been carried out in different populations.…”

Introduction: Coracoclavicular joint (CCJ) is a true synovial joint between superior surface of coracoid process of scapula and conoid tubercle of clavicle. The radiological prevalence of CCJ in various population ranges 0.55% to 21%. The CCJ are mostly discovered incidentally and is rarely associated with any symptom. Sometimes it may present with shoulder pain, limitation of shoulder movement, upper limb paresthesia and osteoarthritis of itself or adjacent acromioclavicular joint. Hence, this study is aiming to determine the prevalence of anomalous CCJ in patient visiting department of Radio-diagnosis in College of Medical Sciences, Bharatpur, Chitwan, Nepal and to observe association of CCJ with laterality, sides and gender. Methods: A total of 1936 digital chest x-rays films were observed for the presence of CCJ, out of which 1097 images were of male and 839 of females. Age of study population ranged from 3 to 90 years. The data obtained were analyzed using Stastical Package for Social Science version (SPSS) 16.0. The prevalence of CCJ was calculated. The cases with CCJ were further analyzed to evaluate the association of CCJ with laterality, sidedness and gender using Chi-square for one-dimensional “goodness of fit” test. Chi-square of Independence was employed to compare the various parameters (laterality and side) with genders. Results: The prevalence of CCJ was 4.6%. CCJ was more frequently observed in male (67.42%) than female (32.57%). Unilateral occurrence of CCJ (55.06%) was slightly more than bilateral (44.94%). Gender difference was not significantly associated with laterality and sidedness of joint (p<0.05). The incidence of CCJ was more in second decade of life in both male and female. Conclusion: CCJ is not rare, hence, knowledge of presence of CCJ as an etiology of shoulder pain is essential for rational therapy and will prevent misdiagnosis.

“…Several suggestions concerning the ontogeny of the coracoclavicular joint have been proposed. De Haas et al, 1965 described 1 large family in which the condition appeared to be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait [7]. Pillay (1967) [8] classified the joint according to its developmental stage as: grade I, fully developed joint with fibrocartilage lined articular surfaces and entire articular capsule, and grade II, a primitive or imperfect joint where the clavicle and the coracoid articulate with each other, and sometimes the facet is present only on the clavicle, without any cartilage covered articular surface or capsule.…”

Coracoclavicular (CCJ) joint a diarthrodial synovial articulation sometimes exists between the conoid tubercle of clavicle & superior surface of coracoid process. It presents with a variable frequency ranging between 0.55% and 30%. This unique entity is usually asymptomatic but may sometimes present with pain or predispose to arthritic changes in neighbouring joints of shoulder region. The study was undertaken to find out the prevalence of this joint in Indian population from osteological samples and included 500 scapulae; 250 right and 250 of left side. Evidence of CCJ was obtained in the form of definitive facets on superior surface of coracoid process. Presence of facets for joint was observed in 21.8% with a higher proportion on left side (26%) as compared to right (17.6%). Facets presented with a spectra of shapes and surface features. CCJ is not rare and likely to have an acquired etiology favoured by genetic and environmental factors.
