Abstract

The objective of the study is to determine the size and profile of coracoclavicular ligaments among Filipinos. Twelve cadaver shoulders from six Filipino subjects were chosen. Morphological descriptions as to their shapes, attachments and measurements were within the range and similar to previous descriptions. CC ligaments among the subjects were more distant from the tip of the distal clavicle compared from previous studies and a resection of 10 mm is a very safe margin to maintain stability of the lateral clavicle.
