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]] ==External links== * {{GPnotebook|429523022}} * [http://moon.ouhsc.edu/dthompso/NAMICS/scjoint.htm Overview at ouhsc.edu] * {{SUNYAnatomyFigs|10|01|08}} {{Gray's}} {{Joints of upper limbs}} [[Category:Skeletal system]] {{musculoskeletal-stub}} [[de:Sternoklavikulargelenk]] [[it:Articolazione sterno-clavicolare]] [[pl:Staw mostkowo-obojczykowy]] [[sv:Sternoklavikularled]] [[th:ข้อต่อสเตอร์โนคลาวิคิวลาร์]]
