Sternoclavicular joint

Matt from Kenhub introduces the sternoclavicular joint, a synovial joint crucial to the shoulder girdle. The joint's articulating surfaces include the sternum, clavicle, and first rib. It is supported by three ligaments: sternal coracoclavicular, interclavicular, and costoclavicular. The joint allows restricted movement across sagittal, transverse, and longitudinal axes.
