Relating to or connecting the coracoid process of the shoulder blade with the clavicle (collarbone).
From coracoid (shoulder process) + clavicular (relating to the collarbone, from Latin 'clavicula'). A anatomical term describing ligament and structural connections in the shoulder girdle.
The coracoclavicular ligaments are like anchor cables holding your collarbone in place, and when you separate your shoulder (like in a fall), these are the ligaments that tear, which is why your collarbone pops out of position!
