The coracoclavicular joint.

W P Cockshott

    Radiology
    |May 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Coracoclavicular joints are genetically determined anatomic variants. This anomaly is more common in Asia, particularly Southern China, than in Europe or Africa, and can develop lipping without symptoms.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Anatomy
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Coracoclavicular joints represent genetically determined anatomic variants.
    • Their identification can be challenging via dissection or radiography.
    • Previous studies suggest geographical variations in prevalence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of coracoclavicular joints.
    • To compare the incidence of this anomaly across different continents.
    • To assess the clinical significance of associated osteophytic lipping.

    Main Methods:

    • A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
    • A prospective radiological survey was performed in Malaysia.
    • Data analysis focused on identifying and characterizing coracoclavicular joints and associated findings.

    Main Results:

    • The study confirmed coracoclavicular joints as genetically determined anatomic variants.
    • A higher incidence was observed in Asian populations, especially from Southern China, compared to European and African populations.
    • Osteophytic marginal lipping was noted in these joints, but without associated symptoms or disability.

    Conclusions:

    • Coracoclavicular joints exhibit significant geographical variation in prevalence, being more common in Asia.
    • The presence of osteophytic lipping in these joints does not necessarily lead to clinical issues.
    • Further research into the genetic and developmental factors influencing these anatomic variants is warranted.
