Abstrakt: The coracoclavicular joint (CCJ) is a synovial joint that forms between the conoid tubercle of the clavicle and the coracoid process of the scapula in approximately 2.5% of the population. The number of bilateral to unilateral cases is almost equal. The number of right-sided and left-sided cases is also almost equal. It is found in both males and females but most often in male adults. Very few cases have been identified in juveniles. Found in populations all over the world, the highest frequencies of CCJ are in Asia. The etiology is unknown but it is most likely caused by metaplastic change of the trapezoid and surrounding tissue due to compression and friction of the coracoacromial ligament between the clavicle and coracoid process. Typically asymptomatic, but if so, the most common complaint is anterior should pain exacerbated by extreme abduction. Successful treatment includes steroid injection and surgical excision.
