The '''Coracoclavicular Ligament''' serves to connect the [[clavicle]] with the [[coracoid process]] of the scapula.
It does not properly belong the acromioclavicular joint articulation, but is usually described with it, since it forms a most efficient means of retaining the clavicle in contact with the [[acromion]]. It consists of two fasciculi, called the [[trapezoid ligament]] and [[conoid ligament]].
These ligaments are in relation, in front, with the [[Subclavius]] and [[Deltoideus]]; behind, with the [[Trapezius]].
