Popis: The shoulder and acromioclavicular joints were studied in a series of 2 human fetuses (age of gestation 12 and 25 weeks). At 12 weeks, the general form of the skeletal elements of the shoulder joint resembled that of the adult. But the acromioclavicular joint differs significantly in rate and manner of development and a cavity was not seen finely at 25 weeks. And more, the attachment of anterior capsule to the glenoid was differed from that of the posterior capsule.
