Coracoacromial Ligament
Location: clavicular articulating surface of the acromion
Function: forms the coracoacromial arch over the head of the humerus
Coracoclavicular Ligament
Location: clavicular articulating surface of the acromion
Function: attach the clavicle to the coracoid process of the scapula
: Coracohumeral Ligament
Location: superficial to the glenohumeral ligaments
Function: Part of the ligament integrates with the superior glenohumeral ligament inferiorly, while another portion covers the biceps tendon anterior to the joint.
Superior Glenohumeral Ligament
Location: extends from supraglenoid tubercule of scapula to the proximal aspect of the lesser tubercle of humerus
Function: supports the rotator interval and prevents inferior translation of the humeral head,
Inferior Glenohumeral Ligament
Location: extends between glenoid labrum and inferomedial part of humeral neck.
Function: Both bands stabilize the humeral head abducted above 90°.
Lateral collateral Ligament
Location: It extends from the anterior aspect of the malleolus to the lateral surface of the talar neck
Function: connects the talus with the lateral malleolus of the fibula
Acromioclavicular Ligament
Location: which attaches to the acromion process at one end and the clavicle at the other
Function: Supports the acromioclavicular joint
Middle Glenohumeral Ligament
Location: attaches along the anterior glenoid margin of the scapula,
Function: It stabilizes the anterior capsule, limiting external rotation,
