Acromioscapular

/ˌækroʊmiəʊˈskæpjʊlər/ adjective

Definition

Relating to the acromion and the scapula (shoulder blade).

Etymology

From acromion (Greek akron + omos) combined with scapular from Latin scapula meaning shoulder blade, creating a descriptor for shoulder blade structures.

Kelly Says

The acromion is literally part of the scapula, so this term describes how this specific bony peak relates to your entire shoulder blade—it's like labeling 'the tip of the mountain and the whole mountain.'
