The '''sternoclavicular articulation''' is a double arthrodial [[joint]] composed of two portions separated by an [[articular disc]]. The parts entering into its formation are the sternal end of the [[clavicle]], the upper and lateral part of the [[manubrium sterni]], and the cartilage of the [[second rib]], visible from the outside as the [[suprasternal notch]]. The articular surface of the clavicle is much larger than that of the [[sternum]], and is invested with a layer of cartilage, which is considerably thicker than that on the latter bone.
The ligaments of this joint are:
* [[Articular capsule]]
* [[Anterior sternoclavicular ligament]]
* [[Posterior sternoclavicular ligament]]
* [[Interclavicular ligament]]
* [[Costoclavicular ligament]]
* [[Articular disk]]
