According to a largely forgotten statement in the anatomical literature, the coraco-acromial ligament is frequently attached to the undersurface of the tip of the acromion as well as to its medial margin. Surgeons, now able to examine this region via an arthroscope, support this observation. Raised

β¦ Synopsis
The coraco-acromial ligament is important first for the stability of the shoulder joint and second because it can impinge on the rotator cuff. In this study we demonstrate how the coraco-acromial ligament can be shown by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the axial plane as well as in the more conventional coronal and sagittal planes.
