Acrimoion process of the scapula
The AC joint is stabilized by how many ligaments?
Three
What ligament connects the articulating surfaces of the distal head of the clavicle to the acromion process?
The acromioclavicular ligament
ligaments anchor the distal aspect of the clavicle inferiorly to the _______?
Coracoid process
The glenohumeral joint is made up of which two structures?
